Acces Shared mailbox via office365 activities

Hi,

I’m currently working on a project that involves me working with the office365 scope and a shared mailbox. (I have to work with this because of licenses and company preferences.) I can access the folder of the linked email account just fine. The problem is that when I try to access the shared mailbox with the get mail activity I get an error saying “Invalid mail folder name” I use “sharedMB@company.com\Inbox” to access the shared mailbox. I know for sure that the Inbox folder exists so that is not wrong. I check the spelling of everything used “/” instead of "". I tried “sharedMB\Inbox” which gives the same error. Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this problem? Or is it just not possible to access a shared mailbox via the office365 activities?
Thank you in advance for your help

Can you please check this :slight_smile: . May be there are some spaces included in the folder name

I tried different spaces “email\ Inbox” and "email\Inbox " still the same error I have a feeling I’m doing this wrong but I don’t know what

Just try copy and pasting the folder name, May be there are some spaces. You are missing them

Oke I’m sorry apparently it was not possible to access a shared mailbox like that. The only way to do this by updating the office365 activities to the recently release version 1.1 this gives you the ability to select a different account and then select folders within that shared mailbox.

Thank you for your help.
