Thx for the explanation, Milan.. :)

Have a follow up question. I only get the Inbox and not the other folders at the same level as Inbox (like 
Sent, etc). Is that correct or should I be
able to see the other folders also (i.e. this is not subfolders of the inbox)?
Since I do not get the Sent folder, I am not able to send/reply to emails and have the messages stored in the 
Sent folder of the shared mailbox, any
way to accomplish this?
