Ingest mail via Mailbox Reader with MS Graph

This method has replaced the legacy EWS method found in this KB Article.

Log in to the Email Archive as an Administrator and navigate to Mailbox Reader and then Connection Settings:

  1. Click Create Connection.
  2. Select MSGraph as the Protocol
  3. Server: outlook.office365.com
  4. OAuth Connection: Select your configured OAuth Connection
If you do not have an OAuth Connection configured please follow the steps within this KB Article.
  1. Complete the remaining settings, as shown in the screenshot below:
The Tenant-id field requires your Microsoft Entra Tenant ID.

  • Selection Range: Assuming you started journaling to the archive from today’s date, we recommend importing emails a few hours after the journaling was enabled so that you don’t miss any emails.  You can import emails between a date range if preferred.
  • Optional: If users have an archive mailbox enabled in O365, i.e. a second mailbox called Archive Folders, then you can import from this archive mailbox as well.
  1. Save the Connection.
  2. Navigate to Mailbox Reader and then User Configuration. Select your new connection as created in the previous step. 
  3. A pop-up window will appear to select the oAuth Connection:
  1. Press Search – which will show all the Office365 users. Select the users you wish to import and click Add Users.
  2. When you are ready to proceed with the import, Click Start Download button in Mailbox Reader
The archive will begin importing emails. Depending on the amount of data to be synchronised, this could take a considerable amount of time.

How did we do?
