Exchange connector not working...

[Anonymous]

I've connected to mailboxes previously using the exchange connector (either exchange or exchange online) using my Mircosoft Account without issue. 

Now however I continue to get an error, even when i try to connect to my own mailbox. It starts with 'you aren't signed in'

So I sign in which directs me to the 'pick an account page' where I can select the microsoft account that I am logged in with. That's seemingly succesful

Connect then shows me the navigator pane where I can select from Calendar, Mail etc. All normal.

When I select 'Mail' here however it now routinely does this...

When I click 'Continue' it then decides I'm not signed in...and so the cyclical frustration begins. 

I've tried removing all exchange related permissions from global permissions, I definately have permission to my own mailbox...any ideas on what to try next anyone?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try to clear the previous data source connection and reconnect.
