First of all, assign an address to the group if you want it to be reachable from the internet, if that is not required, then don't.
Second, is how to access it.
In the users Outlook, goto Tools - Email Accounts and click change on the account.
Click More Settings on that screen.
Next click Advand and click Add to open additional mailboxes, here you type the name of that groupmailbox.
That's all If the answer is here, mark it, others can benefit from it too.

You have to add users (members) to a distribution list, a distribution list is not the same mailbox as a user.
