Shared inboxes and team email.
A team address starts out simple. Someone sets up info@ and gives two or three people access. Within a month, a client gets two replies, or none. Each article here covers one question about that address on Gmail or Microsoft 365. Some cover building it: a Google Group run as a Collaborative Inbox, an Exchange shared mailbox or a Teams channel address, and where each one sends the client's reply. Others cover running it, with one owner per thread and a reply-by time. One compares shared inbox software, with prices checked October 4, 2026. Accounting firms get their own piece on access by name, audit trails and retention. Pick the one that matches your question.
