 - **Message deletion:** Unfortunately, you can't prevent people from deleting messages in a shared mailbox. The only way around this is to [create a Microsoft 365 group](/microsoft-365/admin/create-groups/create-groups) instead of a shared mailbox. A group in Outlook is like a shared mailbox. For a comparison of the two, see [Compare groups](../create-groups/compare-groups.md). To learn more about groups, see [Learn about Microsoft 365 groups](https://support.microsoft.com/office/b565caa1-5c40-40ef-9915-60fdb2d97fa2).
 
-- **Multi-Geo** In a multi-geo environment, shared mailboxes need to be licensed the same way a user mailbox is licensed. Note that cross-geo mailbox auditing is not supported. For example, if a user is assigned permissions to access a shared mailbox in a different geo location, mailbox actions performed by that user are not logged in the mailbox audit log of the shared mailbox.

 > [!NOTE]
 > To access a shared mailbox, a user must have an Exchange Online license, but the shared mailbox doesn't require a separate license. Every shared mailbox has a corresponding user account. Notice how you weren't asked to provide a password when you created the shared mailbox? The account has a password, but it's system-generated (unknown). You shouldn't use the account to log in to the shared mailbox. Without a license, shared mailboxes are limited to 50 GB. To increase the size limit to 100 GB, the shared mailbox must be assigned an Exchange Online Plan 2 license. The Exchange Online Plan 1 license with an Exchange Online Archiving add-on license will only increase the size of the archive mailbox. This will also let you enable auto-expanding archiving for additional archive storage capacity. Similarly, if you want to place a shared mailbox on litigation hold, the shared mailbox must have an Exchange Online Plan 2 license or an Exchange Online Plan 1 license with an Exchange Online Archiving add-on license.
