Shared mailboxes, mailing lists and address book

Shared mailboxes

A shared mailbox is an email account that is linked to a function and can be used by several people. The addresses for KI-wide functions are structured according to function@ki.se. Addresses that are linked to a department or equivalent are constructed according function-dep@ki.se, where "dep" is an approved abbreviation of the department’s name or equivalent. Several words are divided by hyphens.

The monitoring of shared mailboxes is regulated in the e-mail guidelines.
