Mailbox being accesses doesnot have a vaid account state(ProtocolDisabled)

i believe it is being blocked on firewall but i am not sure, how do i confirm this

  • This most often happens when the OWA policy is disabled for the mailbox or a there is a licensing error.
     
    If you are an administrator, follow these instructions:
    1. Log in to the Exchange admin center (https://outlook.office365.com/ecp)
    2. Go to recipients, find the mailbox, and double click to open it.
    3. Go to mailbox features, and make sure Outlook on the web is enabled.

    Also ensure that the user has a license properly assigned.

     

    It's certainly possible that it's networking related, but I'd try those two things first.

  • Similar to what Max suggested you could also check with PowerShell (if you have access) using the get-casmailbox commandlet
