Hi,

I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new email event of a shared mailbox. Will it will work or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can be performed with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, is there such an Active Directory account associated?

Thanks,

Richard

Shared Mailboxes do have an associated account but like Room and resource Mailboxes the account is disabled by default. But as long as you have access to the Shared Mailbox folder you want to subscribe to you will be able to create a Streaming subscription without any problem . A quick way you can test it without writing any code is try it yourself with a Shared Mailbox using the EWSEditor https://ewseditor.codeplex.com/ (Tools, Streaming Notifications Viewer)

Cheers

Thank you Glen!

Are you saying that if an Active Directory account has the access to a shared mailbox, and then this account can be used for creating the Streaming subscription for that mailbox? In other words, the way how Exchange Server works is that the new messages like new emails are automatically sending to all of the AD accounts which have the access to a mailbox.

Thanks!

Yes that's correct (try it yourself with the EWSEditor)

Not sure what you mean by this ? A Shared a Mailbox is just like any other Exchange Mailbox if you have rights to the Folder then you can create a subscription against it. There is no automation involved.
