To safeguard ourselves from unforeseen circumstances we back up our files on a regular basis. But what if the files we believed are safe are no longer accessible?

When it comes to what keeps an organization running, data is one of the most important factors in every industry. Every organization must have a second layer of protection by having a backup in place to keep its data safe.

Recognizing the necessity of data backup, Microsoft developed its own backup software, the NTBackup utility.

This feature is available for Windows NT (Windows Server 2000, 2003, and XP). It comes pre-installed on the Windows XP machine. All the data that are backed up using this utility is saved in BKF file format. These BKF files can be accessed anytime and anywhere and help to restore the data.

However, owing to a variety of factors, even these BKF files might become unavailable at times. What are the causes behind this? They will be covered in greater detail later in this article.

An Inconsistency Was Encountered In The Requested Backup File

First, let’s focus on the ways in which these corrupted BKF files can be recovered. Therefore, in this article, we will discuss the manual as well as a professional method to recover the damaged BKF files.

Ways To Resolve ‘An Inconsistency Was Encountered In The Requested Backup File’

There are two ways using which you can fix “an inconsistency was encountered in the requested backup file” issue of the BKF file.

Method 1: Professional Method To Resolve the Error

Step 1: Download and run the tool on your system.

Step 4: Now, Search and preview the recovered BKF data.

extract bkf file

Step 5: Finally, select extract and browse the destination where you want to keep your restored files.

Method 2: Manually Rectify The Error

If you want to recover your BKF files manually then you use the following method.

Step 1: First, get the NT5backup.cab file from the Internet. NTBackup.exe, Ntmsapi.dll, and Vssapi.dll are all contained within this cabinet file (.cab).

Step 2: Right-click the NTBackup.exe file and select “Run as Administrator”

Step 3: You’ll see a message given below.

  • Click OK to proceed with the Backup or Restore Wizard.

Step 4: To proceed, click Next.

Step 5: Make a decision on what you want to do next. Select Restore files and settings from the menu.

  • To proceed with the process, click Next.

Step 6: Click the Browse button and navigate to the backup file you want to restore.

Step 7: In the left pane, expand the backup file and select the desired files/folders.

  • To proceed with the process, click Next.

Step 8: Before proceeding, click the Advanced button to specify additional restore options.

Step 9: Select “Alternate location” under the “Restore files to” option.

  • By clicking the Browse button, you can specify the destination path. Then click Next to proceed with the process.

Step 10: Select how you want to restore existing files on your computer.

  • To proceed, select “Leave existing files (Recommended)” and click Next.

Step 11: At this point, you can select whether to restore security or special system files.

  • Then click Next to proceed with the process.

Step 12: Finally, click Finish to begin the repair.

What Happens When There Is A Backup File Error?

The corruption in the BKF file renders its contents unreadable, preventing users from restoring data from the backup. When a user attempts to recover their data, the system displays the same problem.
Possible Reasons For Corruption In BKF Files

  1. CRC Failed: A CRC, also known as a cyclic redundancy check, is a mistake code that is often used to detect unintentional modifications to raw data. If any data bit is missing, the CRC procedure is likely to fail & cause the SQL Server CRC Error 23 in database.
  2. Storage Media Failure: This can sometimes be a cause of corrupted BKF files. A backup file can be stored on both internal and external hard drives, as well as any other storage medium. If the backup file is saved on a corrupted sector, disc, or drive, it may cause corruption.
  3. Virus infection is one of the most prevalent causes of file corruption in virtually all file formats. The virus is a type of malware that can destroy your data by deleting or overwriting a portion of the file. A backup file is not immune to virus contamination.
  4. Invalid Content: If you insert an invalid type of content into a BKF file, it may get corrupted. Users are frequently reckless about what they put to the backup file. If they include any incorrect data or a corrupt file, the backup file may become corrupt.
  5. Incorrect Procedures: Anything done poorly has negative repercussions. If you make an improper backup of your data, it is quite probable that it will be corrupted. Similarly, restoring data from backup improperly may result in corruption of the whole backup file.
  6. Improper Shutdown: If a system abruptly shuts down due to a power outage or for any other reason, it may result in significant data loss for your computer, including the backup file. If you are taking a backup and the machine abruptly shuts down, the backup may be corrupted.

When this kind of error occurs, an image like this appears on the screen.

This error means that the Backup file that you are using is corrupted and won’t be able to recover your data.

Wrapping Up

BKF files are important for users as they help in keeping their files safe with the help of Microsoft’s NTBackup utility. However, when these files get corrupted it becomes a problem for users. Thus, in this article, the ways in which the files can be recovered are discussed.

Fix “Office 365 Shared Mailbox Emails Are Stuck in Outbox” Problem https://www.systoolsgroup.com/blog/office-365-shared-mailbox-emails-are-stuck-in-the-outbox/ Mon, 24 Nov 2025 11:33:53 +0000 https://www.systoolsgroup.com/blog/?p=2148 Are you facing issues where Office 365 shared mailbox emails are stuck in the Outbox and won’t deliver?

The post Fix “Office 365 Shared Mailbox Emails Are Stuck in Outbox” Problem appeared first on SysTools Tech Blog.

Are you facing issues where Office 365 shared mailbox emails are stuck in the Outbox and won’t deliver? I have seen this occur many times in user accounts. It is mainly because they lack the “Send As” permission.

In this tutorial, I discuss the common troubleshooting tactics you can use to fix the issue yourself.

What is the Outbox? Where Shared Mailbox Messages Get Stuck?

Outbox is a temporary folder hidden from view. When you are sending a message, the Office 365 email puts the message there. If all the criteria and permissions match your digital mail carrier, take the message to the destination.

However, the message gets stuck in your own personal Outbox. It never leaves your application because the server stops it.

Why Are My Office 365 Shared Mailbox Emails Stuck in the Outbox?

The message you are sending is larger than the maximum permissible size. By default, the message size constraint for a Shared mailbox is:

  • 35840 KB for Sent messages.
  • 36864 KB for Received messages.

Although administrators can edit these, they can only choose a value that lies between 0 and 153600 KB  ~ 150 MB.

If your message exceeds the value the admin has set, then Office 365 Shared Mailbox emails are stuck in the Outbox.

Office 365 Shared Mailbox emails are also found to be stuck in the Outbox when the local OST file gets damaged or corrupted. Outlook fails to process the outgoing mail.

Another common scenario is that there are too many people trying to access/use the shared mailbox simultaneously. When more than 25 people attempt to send emails from the same shared mailbox address. It puts some of the messages in the Outbox queue to be sent when there is less strain on the mailbox.

During the Shared mailbox assignment, the administrator deliberately gave you just the “Read and manage” permissions. In other words, you lack the “Full access” permission required to send messages from any shared mailbox.

To add the correct Permissions, we have 3 methods; use the one that you are most comfortable with.

Method 1: Using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center

On the main Microsoft 365 Admin Center page, the steps are as follows:
Office 365 Shared Mailbox Emails Are Stuck in the Outbox? Steps to Fix it

  • Step 1. Log in to the admin center, expand the Teams & groups tab from the left-hand pane, and select Shared mailboxes.
  • Step 2. Search for and select the particular mailbox for which you are assigning permissions.
  • Step 3. In the pane that appears, you will see categories for mailbox permissions. Add the user’s email address to the required categories:
    • Read and manage permissions
    • Send as permissions
    • Send on behalf of permissions (Optional but recommended)
  • Step 4. Click on the permission type you wish to grant, then click + Add permissions.
  • Step 5. Select the user’s name and click Add.

The fixes to Office 365 Shared Mailbox emails are stuck in the Outbox, won’t be immediate, wait for a while, and also ask the user to log in again/refresh their browser/or close and reopen the Outlook client.

Method 2: Using the Exchange Admin Center (EAC)

Here is what your admin needs to do if they choose the EAC route:
Exchange Admin Center

  • Step 1. Log in to the Exchange Admin Center, expand Recipients, and select Mailboxes.
  • Step 2. Use the filter to display only Shared Mailboxes.
  • Step 3. Select the shared mailbox you want to manage.
  • Step 4. Switch to the Delegation tab and click Edit under Read and manage (Full Access).
  • Step 5. Click + Add members.
  • Step 6. Search or scroll for the user account(s), mark the checkbox next to their name, and click Save.
  • Step 7. Wait for a few minutes for the role assignment to finish. Then, ask the user to sign out and sign back in before sending an email again

Method 3: PowerShell to Fix Office 365 Shared Mailbox Emails are stuck in the Outbox

I have seen some users complain that reassigning permissions using the admin center doesn’t make any difference. So we suggest a more powerful way to make the permission reassignment. These are PowerShell commands.

Step 1. Connect a local PowerShell instance with the Exchange Online environment.

Step 2. Then, remove any existing permissions (we do this as they are not working for some reason):

Remove-MailboxPermission -Identity “YourSharedMailbox@comanydomain.com” -User “User1@companydomain.com” -AccessRights FullAccess

Use this command in particular to give the permissions that can release Office 365 Shared Mailbox emails stuck in the Outbox:

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity “YourSharedMailbox@comanydomain.com” -User “User1@companydomain.com” -AccessRights FullAccess -AutoMapping:$false

Make sure you replace the placeholder variables with your own credentials.

We keep the “-AutoMapping” flag off to prevent Outlook from starting its own request, as this is a major source of the issue.

Instead, what we do is add the same Shared Mailbox to users’ classic client manually:

File > Account Settings > Change > More Settings > Advanced > Open these additional mailboxes.

Try and send an email as a test. Make sure you pull the “From address” from the Online Global Address List to prevent any cache issues. Moreover, it is possible that your Office 365 Shared Mailbox emails are stuck in the Outbox, not because you lack the permissions, but because there is something else that isn’t working. Most of the time, it is the local client.

Method 4: Fix Local Profile Corruption in O365 Clients.

Both new and classic editions of the Office 365 desktop email client use local profiles to manage your email on your device.

If any external factors, like a faulty add-on or a virus/malware attack on your device, can damage it, try these steps to remove a stuck email from the Outbox of Outlook

Best Practices When Office 365 Shared Mailbox Emails Are Stuck in the Outbox

Admins should limit the shared mailbox access to 2-5 members, not more.

Users should be aware of the per-email size limits and draft their emails accordingly. Plus, they should pause all mail activity on that particular shared mailbox.

Also, Shared Mailboxes have a non-expanding 50 GB cap. When this maximum capacity is reached, it becomes impossible to send new emails. You have to delete some old conversations to make space for new ones.

Instead of deleting, you can use the SysTools Office 365 Backup and Restore Utility. This tool allows you to save a copy of all your official conversations that took place over the Office 365 shared mailbox. Download and use the tool.

Sometimes, if the issues fail to be fixed even after multiple attempts, admins may have to take a call to delete and create a new Shared Mailbox in Office 365 again.

Conclusion

Here we saw what to do if you see Office 365 Shared Mailbox emails are stuck in the Outbox. Just fix the exact issue that is causing the problem: Get the Full access + send on behalf permissions. Keep message size manageable, communicate with other users so that shared mailbox access does not clash, and of course, keep your OST file healthy. Once you carry out these tasks, emails should not get stuck.

Is your Microsoft Office 365 Shared Mailbox not showing in Outlook? If yes, then go through this guide and learn 5 different walkarounds to fix this issue. Without any further ado, let’s get started with an overview of shared mailboxes in Office 365.

A Shared Mailbox is a mailbox that can be accessed by all the users who have been granted permission to access it. Every user can read and send emails depending on the permission provided by the admin. We can also say that a shared mailbox is a centralized service that allows multiple users to work in a synchronized manner.

Assigned users can access these shared mailboxes in their Outlook application. However, some users face issues while accessing a shared mailbox in the MS Outlook application. Therefore, in this blog, we will be presenting the solutions for the common issue faced by many users, that is, “Office 365 Shared Mailbox not showing in Outlook application (desktop)”.

Office 365 shared mailbox not showing in Outlook - user-query

Like Leeman Tanacio, multiple other Office 365 users face difficulty as their Office 365 shared mailbox is also not visible in their desktop Outlook, whereas it’s visible in the Outlook web app.

 

First of all, let us figure out the causes behind this issue.

Why isn’t My Shared Mailbox Showing up in Outlook?

Automapping Failure: Outlook has an innate ability to reflect all server-side/admin-made changes directly into the user-facing client. However, your Outlook’s automapping feature may be malfunctioning.

Missing Adequate Permissions: When admins create a new shared mailbox in Office 365, they may not assign you the Full Access permission. Instead, you got the read-only permission.

Exchange Cache Mode Issues: Outlook is programmed to save a copy of your mailbox image in its local repository to maintain access in case of network issues. Sometimes this Exchange server copy gets corrupted or fails to update to reflect the latest changes.

Old Outlook Client: The classic Outlook client’s end-of-life date has already been announced. Moreover, in many new computers, the older Outlook editions have hidden, unpatched bugs that prevent the shared mailbox from appearing.

Outlook Profile Corruption: The Outlook client maintains a local profile of the account you have set up. Malicious attacks, internal hardware issues, or user negligence can negatively affect the Outlook profile, which can cascade into issues like invisible shared mailboxes. 

Checking the Wrong Place: This is a problem in the desktop Outlook client, where users have added more than one account. They may be looking for the shared mailbox at a place where it is never supposed to appear! 

Hidden Manually: Outlook has many folder management options, one of which is to hide certain folders from appearing on the Folder list pane. It is possible you hid it before and forgot about it.

Shared Mailbox Deleted: Admins may have deleted the Shared Mailbox.

These are just some of the issues. It is possible that you face an entirely novel issue that is stopping you from viewing the shared mailboxes. So to resolve it, you must follow the different workarounds I have compiled in the same order they appear.

What to Do When a Shared Mailbox Is Not Visible in the New Outlook?

Start by verifying that you are looking in the correct account’s Shared with me section. Switch if necessary. 

If you still don’t see the shared mailbox in any of your accounts, contact the admin. Only they can tell you for sure if you have been given access to a shared mailbox or not. If the admin’s response is positive that yes you are a member of the shared mailbox, wait for a while. 

Close and reopen >> Sign out and log back in to the new Outlook client. Then, try manually adding the missing shared mailbox.

Step 1. Hover over your account and tap on the 3 horizontal dots or right-click.

Step 2. In the fly-out menu, click Add shared folder or mailbox.

Step 3. Type in the shared mailbox name or select it from the list > Then press Continue.

Step 4. Outlook will perform a permission check; if it passes, the mailbox gets added; if it fails, contact the admin. Failure to add usually means you are not part of the shared mailbox.

Unhide Shared Mailboxes In the New Outlook Client

Like we told you in the reasons, there is a strong chance that you still have access to the shared mailbox; it’s just that it’s hidden from view. To undo it, follow these steps.

  • Step 1. Open the new Outlook client.
  • Step 2. Click on Settings cog
  • Step 3. In the Settings window, open Accounts, then Shared with me.
  • Step 4. Select the account from the dropdown.
  • Step 5. Expand the hidden Shared Mailbox and click on Show in folder list.

Unhide Shared Mailbox in Office 365

Close Settings and check the folder pane; you should see the previously invisible Shared with me folder.

Adding a Shared Mailbox in Classic Outlook

Generally, the shared mailbox should automatically come up when a user configures their account in Outlook. If it’s coming in an Online web App but not visible in the Outlook desktop App, then this would probably be due to server-level problems. Otherwise, Outlook will give you an error message ‘The folder you selected is not available. So, to solve such issues, users can manually add a mailbox to their account. Follow the procedure below:

Step 1. Open the Desktop Outlook Application, and go to File tab >> Account Settings >> Account Settings…

Step 2. Now, select your Office 365 account profile and then click on the Change button.

Note: In some cases, it was found that even after configuring, still Office 365 shared mailbox was not showing in the Outlook desktop application. If its shared mailbox is not visible to you, then try workaround 2.

Troubleshooting Shared Mailbox Synchronization in Desktop Outlook

There is a wide range of technical issues that a shared mailbox might suffer from.

This blog carries the solution to the query “Office 365 shared mailbox not showing in Outlook”. We have covered three workarounds as a solution to the query. The first 2 workarounds are the most general reasons and will probably solve the issue. If the problem is not resolved, then there are chances of unknown errors in a shared mailbox. In that case, you can simply migrate the shared mailbox data using the above-mentioned tool or contact the System Administrator for the reconfiguration of the shared mailbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I repair the Outlook app to make the shared mailboxes visible again?

Yes, this is a viable tactic if you believe there are some problems with your Outlook app. 

Windows Settings > Apps > Outlook > Advanced options > Repair.

Q. Does the Outlook client have a limit on how many Shared folders it can show?

No, but practically the more folders you have, the more resources Outlook needs to keep everything functional. So even if a Shared folder exists and you have all the necessary permissions. The sheer volume of data prevents everything from loading.

Although saving emails in Google Drive and then downloading them locally works fine, I have to waste so much time on it and it’s too frustrating to do. Tried clearing cache, disabling antivirus and ESET smart security web, and all email protection, but still no luck. Can anybody tell me, if there is any other way?”
