Troubleshooting:
If you are unable to add a mailbox, these could be some reasons:
- The administrator might not have permitted access. If so, contact them for further instructions and assistance.
- You entered an incorrect name for the mailbox; again, contact your administrator.
- The password has expired. If you have access to Outlook Web Access, try signing in and update your password then try signing in again.
- If you are an Office 365 user, make sure a license is assigned to your account to access the mail server.
