Error message: "REST API is not yet supported for this mailbox."
Cause
This error can occur if the mailbox is on a dedicated Microsoft Exchange Server and is not a valid Microsoft 365 mailbox.

To get a valid Microsoft 365 mailbox, submit a request to your Exchange administrator to migrate the mailbox account. Users who don't have administrator permissions can't migrate accounts.
