I have several user accounts in Office 365 tenant. Two of them are almost identical (have similar settings but different contact info and name).
I try to fetch information (such as all folders and items) in user's mailbox using GetFolder operation from EWS API that contains next body:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

<FolderIds>
<t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="outbox"/>
</FolderIds>
</GetFolder>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


I can successfully get info for one of these two mailboxes but when an error reply with the next body:

Why do I get such ErrorNonPrimarySmtpAddress error response? What can be the problem when I fetch data in the mailbox of the second user?

  • What is the request that returns that error? Are you specifying the primary SMTP address rather one of the proxy SMTP addresses?

You need to use the primary SMTP address - I doubt Name.Surname@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com is the primary address.



Open the address book in Outlook (Ctrl+Shift+B), open the user, switch to the "E-mail Addresses" tab, look for the address with the "SMTP:" prefix (note the caps).
