A shared mailbox makes it easy for a group of people to monitor and send email from a public email alias like info@contoso.com. When a person in the group replies to a message sent to the shared mailbox, the email appears to be from the shared address, not from the individual user. A shared mailbox is not designed for direct log on though. The user account for the shared mailbox itself should stay in disabled state.
