@tayyabtanoli12, in 2026, outlook added a new feature to automatically sync shared mailboxes, just go to settings and click on the accounts tab to enable it

to add a shared mailbox in outlook, you should also ensure that imap is enabled and the account settings are set to use the latest exchange version, as this can affect the auto-sync feature.
