Resource Mailbox

Resource mailbox - Resource mailboxes are mailboxes that represent conference rooms or shared equipment. Resource mailboxes can be included as resoures in meeting requests, providing a simple and efficient way to utilize resources for an organization. There are two types of resource mailboxes in Microsoft Exchange Server: room and equipment. Room mailboxes are assigned to a meeting location, such as a conference room, auditorium, or training room. Equipment mailboxes are assigned to a resource that is not location specific, such as a portable computer projector, microphone, or company car.

Resource mailboxes cannot be accessed directly. The only way to open a resource mailbox is to open it from the delegate's mailbox.
