Accessing O365 Shared Mailboxes With Android

Microsoft's official position is that you cannot access Shared Mailboxes in an Office 365 tenancy from an Android device.  Here's how to do it by configuring a new IMAP account with the following settings:

Incoming Settings
1. Email Address = SharedMailbox@Domain.com
2. Username = O365Account@Domain.com\SharedMailbox
3. Password = Password
4. IMAP Server = outlook.office365.com
5. Security Type = SSL
6. Port = 993
7. IMAP path prefix = Optional

Outgoing Settings
1. SMTP Server = smtp.office365.com
2. Security Type = TLS
3. Port = 587
4. Require Sign In = Yes
5. Username = O365Account@Domain.com
6. Password = Password

You should be able to have this work also on iOS and Android (and maybe even Mac OSX) devices by setting an account up in a similar fashion.
