    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!

    I tried this solution by using direct query and this api thing really helped me a lot! Most important thing is the data retrieval speed, which is at least 80% faster compared to using Microsoft Exchange Online Connector. Also I've seen the MS Exchange Online connector may not support scheduled refresh in reports, which could be a limitation. Reference: List of supported data sources 

    I'm going to keep with this solution and see its performance goes over time.

    Many thanks,
