Requesting a D-list or Shared Email Account

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Do I need a d-list or a shared email account?

A d-list does not store the emails, they are forwarded to individual accounts. When you reply to an email received, it comes from your individual email, not the d-list email address.

A shared email account is a separate email account that more than one person has access to.  To access the account, you must log on through Office 365 Webmail. Replies to emails come from the shared account’s address.

To request a d-list or shared email account, you must complete a Security Access Request Form (SARF). You will receive an email from the Help Desk when the account has been created.
