For my smaller office 365 clients that want to collaborate with shared contacts and calendars, I typically will set up a new mailbox in O365 called "companyshare" or "jobs", etc.

This works well and syncs to the phones properly, with nice granular access to the calendar, notes, contacts, etc. Having a problem which I have not noticed before, and not sure if it's just an issue with Outlook 2010 or not.

Client goes into the shared contacts. Selects a contact and clicks the "new email" button. By default the window pops up but the email is sent from the companyshare@ account and not their personal account. Is there a way to disable email for the shared account and sync contacts/calendar only? Or perhaps set Outlook to only send from the personal account?

EDIT- forgot to add that I'm simply adding another email account within Outlook for the desktop clients. Perhaps it would be better to just share the contacts/calendar with them?
