Shared mailboxes allow multiple users to access and manage email communications, and they come with built-in calendar functionalities for scheduling and sharing event information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? If the shared mailbox holds up to 50GB of data, you don&#8217;t need a license for it. However, for data exceeding 50GB, a license is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Convert a User Mailbox to a Shared Mailbox?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several scenarios where converting a regular user mailbox into a shared mailbox becomes necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Collaborative Projects<\/strong>: If your team is working on a project that requires multiple people to access the same email data, converting the user mailbox into a shared one ensures everyone can stay on the same page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employee Departure<\/strong>: If an employee leaves the company, their email account might still hold valuable data. Converting their mailbox to a shared mailbox allows the business to retain access to that data while freeing up the user license.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Migration to Office 365<\/strong>: During a manual migration, such as a cutover or staged migration, user mailboxes are often converted to shared mailboxes. This allows the mailbox to remain active for 30 days without needing a license, helping businesses save costs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the scenario, converting a user mailbox to a shared one can provide operational benefits. Let\u2019s walk through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Convert a User Mailbox to a Shared Mailbox in Office 365<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to convert a regular mailbox to a shared mailbox in Office 365:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Log in to Office 365<\/strong> with your global administrator credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the <strong>Admin<\/strong> option to access the <strong>Office 365 Admin Center<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the admin window, go to <strong>Active Users<\/strong> and select the mailbox you want to convert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Mail Settings<\/strong>, choose <strong>Convert to shared mailbox<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A confirmation prompt will appear. Click <strong>Convert<\/strong> to finalize the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once complete, you\u2019ll receive a message confirming the conversion. The mailbox will now be listed under <strong>Shared Mailboxes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important Note<\/strong>: If the shared mailbox exceeds 50GB, a license will be required. Additionally, ensure you disable sign-in for the shared mailbox to avoid security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Exchange Online PowerShell for Conversion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer or need to use Exchange Online PowerShell, you can also convert a user mailbox to a shared one via command line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell<\/strong> with your administrator credentials. Use the following commands: <code><em>$UserCredential = Get-Credential<\/em><\/code> Enter your Office 365 admin credentials in the pop-up dialog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start the session<\/strong>: <code><em>$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https:\/\/outlook.office365.com\/powershell-liveid\/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection<\/em><\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Run the final command<\/strong> to import the session: <code><em>Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking<\/em><\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Convert the mailbox<\/strong>: <code><em>Set-Mailbox -Identity \"user@example.com\" -Type:Shared<\/em><\/code> This command will convert the user mailbox to a shared mailbox.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If at any point you need to revert the shared mailbox back to a regular user mailbox, you can use the command: <code><em>Set-Mailbox -Identity \"user@example.com\" -Type:Regular<\/em><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Convert a Shared Mailbox Back to a User Mailbox<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, you may need to convert a shared mailbox back into a regular user mailbox. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Log into Office 365<\/strong> with admin credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Office 365 Admin Center<\/strong>, navigate to <strong>Exchange<\/strong> under the admin options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the <strong>Recipients<\/strong> tab and select <strong>Shared<\/strong> mailboxes. Choose the shared mailbox you want to convert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under the <strong>Convert<\/strong> section, click <strong>Convert to user mailbox<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the conversion. The process may take some time, depending on the size of the mailbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once complete, the mailbox will appear under the <strong>User Mailboxes<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: After conversion, assign a license to the mailbox as it can only function without one for 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Words<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Converting between user mailboxes and shared mailboxes in Office 365 is a straightforward process that can be completed using either the Office 365 Admin Center or PowerShell. Keep in mind the licensing requirements, especially if the shared mailbox exceeds 50GB of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses concerned about data security, especially when migrating or managing large volumes of data, a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softmagnat.com\/how-to\/steps-to-save-office365-emails-locally.html\">Office 365 Backup tool<\/a> can help safeguard mailboxes by storing data in PST format. This provides additional flexibility and peace of mind for future access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Do shared mailboxes require a license in Office 365?<\/strong><br \/>Shared mailboxes do not require a license as long as they hold less than 50GB of data. If the mailbox exceeds 50GB, a license is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Can I convert a shared mailbox back to a user mailbox?<\/strong><br \/>Yes, you can easily convert a shared mailbox back into a user mailbox using either the Office 365 Admin Center or PowerShell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Will converting a user mailbox to shared affect email rules?<\/strong><br \/>No, the existing email rules remain intact after conversion, though you should avoid making significant changes to the rules once converted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. What happens if I delete the user mailbox after conversion?<\/strong><br \/>Do not delete the user mailbox after conversion, as it serves as an anchor for the shared mailbox to function correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. How do I backup a shared mailbox in Office 365?<\/strong><br \/>You can use third-party tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softmagnat.com\/how-to\/steps-to-save-office365-emails-locally.html\">Office 365 to PST Converter software<\/a> to securely back up shared mailboxes and store the data in PST format for future use.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;639&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;How to Convert a User Mailbox to a Shared Mailbox in Office 365 (and Vice Versa)&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office 365 offers a wide range of benefits for businesses, and one of the most practical features is shared mailboxes.<a class=\"read-more ml-1 main-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.softmagnat.com\/blog\/convert-office-365-user-mailbox-to-shared\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[211],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-office-365"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Convert User Mailbox to Shared Mailbox in Office 365(Vice Versa)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here we discuss some manual steps to Convert User Mailbox to Shared &amp; Shared Mailbox to User in Office 365 account.
