Error [404] The mailbox is either inactive, soft-deleted, or is hosted on-premise while using Make/integromat
Hello pros,
I'm working on a Make automation for a client, and we want to send messages via their company's Outlook mailbox. They have a Microsoft Partner provider who is supposed to configure Outlook and set up an address nepasrepondre@entreprise.fr
so that I can send a message, but they can't manage it. So I did tests on my side with a sandbox, but I'm encountering the same error.
Here's what I did:
Creation of the automation:
- I created an automation on Make to send an email using my client's Outlook mailbox.
Configuration on Microsoft Entra/Azure:
- I created an application by specifying the redirect URI and assigning the appropriate API permissions (Mail.Send, offline_access, User.Read).
- I assigned my account to this application and obtained the Client ID, Secret ID, and Tenant ID.
- I managed to connect to the Outlook module on Make, and everything works correctly on my side.
Setting up the shared mailbox:
- I created a shared address
nepasrepondre@entreprise.fr
. - I invited an external account
contact@soustraitant.com
to create an account (different domain). - Once the external account was created, I attached it to the shared address
nepasrepondre@entreprise.fr
so that I can send emails from this address. - I also assigned an Outlook license to these two accounts.
I also tried different things:
- Changing the status of the address
contact@soustraitant.com
from "Guest" to "Member". - Switching the account from external to internal.
- Etc.
The problem:
When I attempt to send an email via Make using the shared mailbox, I receive the following error:
Error [404] The mailbox is either inactive, soft-deleted, or is hosted on-premise
If I connect directly with an account firstname.lastname@entreprise.fr
(who is an admin) via this Microsoft application, it works. I can send emails with the address nepasrepondre@entreprise.fr
.
On the mailbox nepasrepondre@entreprise.fr
, I have also given permissions to the account contact@soustraitant.com
(read permissions, manage, send as, etc.).
My questions:
- Has anyone encountered this type of problem before?
- Are there specific configurations or steps that I may have missed to allow sending emails via the shared mailbox from Make?
Thank you in advance for your help! 🙏
