Since the approval messages are just regular emails, you can look for them in the message trace:
&nbsp;
[10:42:26][Login script]# Get-MessageTrace | ? {$_.Subject -like "Approve:*"}

Received            Sender Address    Recipient Address                                                           Subject                  Status
--------            --------------    -----------------                                                           -------                  ------

Now, since we still are unable to filter by subject server-sider, you will have to get all the results, which might take a while for a large tenant.

You can just "browse" the entire dataset of message trace results, then filter out all the "accepted" messages. But yeah, the message trace data is kept for a limited amount of time, so not useful if more than 30 days have passed. Perhaps you can browse the actual arbitration mailbox, although I haven't bothered to check if this is really possible.
