If you're not seeing the mailbox listed under Account settings, automapping is the likely culprit. Though in this case you can simply remove the Full access permission, which is also doable via the admin UI.

I appreciate the reply. But I think I should clarify.
User A is seeing user B's mailbox in their outlook. When I try to remove it from the Outlook GUI I do not see that mailbox listed.
When I go to user B's account in Active Users in Exchange Admin Center and look there are no entries for mailbox permissions, i.e. that user has not delegated anything.
So why is user A's outlook still showing the user's account in their Outlook?- VasilMichevSep 20, 2023MVPMight be an orphaned permission entry. If you don't see any permissions in the admin UI, I'm afraid PowerShell is your only option, as you will have to clear the stale info as per the article above.
