Verify Mailbox Accessibility via EWS

 You can verify independently if a mailbox is accessible using EWS with the following steps:

  1. Go to Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer
  2. If using Microsoft 365, click the Exchange Online tab from the menu on the left side.
  3. Select Service Account Access (Developers) then click Next.
  4. Specify the following information:
    • The Target mailbox email address.
    • The Authentication type. This must be Moder authentication (OAuth).
    • The Modern Authentication (OAuth) credentials by signing in and using the service account credentials. If using admin credentials on the connector, enter the same username and password.
  5. Select the Specify Exchange Web Services URL option from the Autodiscover selection.
  6. Enter the FQDN of the Exchange Web Service (EWS) Server. For example, if the EWS URL is https://mail.contoso.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx, then enter mail.contoso.com.
  7. Select the Folder type you will use.
    • If using an on-premise Exchange Server, do not check "Use Exchange Impersonation." If you are using Microsoft 365, and using impersonation, do check the box.
    • Check Ignore Trust for SSL.
  8. Click Perform Test.
  9. Once results are displayed, check the overall result, and click Expand All.

It may be necessary to first manage permissions.
