    Insted of using the connector i use the Power M fucntion instead. I don't know why, but it works 😁.
    I would think the api's are not the same.
    I used:

    Exchange.Contents (optional mailboxAddress as nullable text) as table

    Cheers!

Hi there

Could you make sure that the permissions are set correctly when logging into the Shared Mailbox?

Can you log into the shared mailbox with your credentials?

Are you then using the same credentials in your connection in Power BI?

    Hi GilbertQ,

    Could you make sure that the permissions are set correctly when logging into the Shared Mailbox?
    Yes, they are correct.
    Can you log into the shared mailbox with your credentials?
    Yes ( with outlook everything works fine )
    Are you then using the same credentials in your connection in Power BI?
    Yes, i can connect to personal mailbox and a second sharemailbox as wel. Just the one does not connect using the same Exchange connector.
