Close out of the Account Settings screen, and then select your new mailbox in the mail pane to populate it with your messages.

Troubleshooting:
If you are unable to add a mailbox, these could be some reasons:

  1. 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.
