Shared e-mail address policy
...
The university and its units must have organizational e-mail addresses for managing official business matters and services (e.g. kirjaamo@metropolia.fi or helpdesk@metropolia.fi). E-mail concerning the university’s services should be sent primarily to the university’s organizational e-mail addresses instead of individual empoloyee’s employee’s e-mail addresses. E-mail sent to organizational e-mail addresses can be accessed by more than one employee only.

An e-mail address can also be implemented in such a way that mail sent to it is redirected directly to one or more persons mailboxes. In such a case all users will receive their own copy of the e-mail and they will not be able to see whether other users have read it or replied to it. Such redirection is not suitable for handling organizatiorial organizational e-mail addresses.
