Microsoft Exchange

Overview

The Microsoft Exchange toolkit gives AI/Run CodeMie assistants and workflows access to a mailbox. The toolkit has two groups of tools:

• Read tools list folders, read messages, open a single message and extract text from its attachments. They never change the mailbox. See Read Tools.
• Write tools send, forward, move, tag and delete messages. They change the mailbox. See Write Tools.

The toolkit connects to Exchange in one of two ways. The mode is chosen explicitly when the integration is created:

Authentication type	Transport	Use it for
OAuth via Microsoft Entra ID Application	Microsoft Graph	Exchange Online
NTLM	Exchange Web Services (EWS)	On-premises Exchange, air-gapped environments, or tenants where Entra ID apps are restricted

In both modes, an identity (an Entra ID application or a service account) authenticates, and the toolkit opens the separate target mailbox that you set in the integration.

Prerequisites

Required Integration

This tool requires you to have at least one Microsoft Exchange integration configured in AI/Run CodeMie. For more details, please refer to the Integrations Overview guidelines.

OAuth via Microsoft Entra ID Application (Microsoft Graph)

• An app registration in Microsoft Entra ID with a client secret.

• The application permissions on Microsoft Graph that match the tools in use, with admin consent granted:

  Permission	Needed for
  Mail.Read	The read tools
  Mail.ReadWrite	Exchange: Move message, Exchange: Tag message and Exchange: Delete message
  Mail.Send	Exchange: Send message and Exchange: Forward message

  Mail.ReadWrite includes read access. An integration that only reads mail needs Mail.Read alone.

Mailbox scope

An application-level mail permission grants access to every mailbox in the tenant. This is more serious for Mail.ReadWrite and Mail.Send, because the application can then change mail and send mail as any mailbox. To restrict the application to specific mailboxes, the Exchange administrator must configure an Exchange Application Access Policy.

NTLM (Exchange Web Services)

• A service account that has the Full Access mailbox permission on the target mailbox. The toolkit lists folders from the mailbox root, so Full Access is what it needs. Folder-level delegate rights in Outlook have not been verified to be enough. Full Access also covers moving, tagging and deleting messages.
• For Exchange: Send message and Exchange: Forward message, the Send As permission for the service account on the target mailbox. Full Access does not include Send As.
• EWS enabled for the service account and for the target mailbox.
• NTLM (Windows authentication) enabled on the EWS virtual directory of the Exchange server.
• Network access from the CodeMie cluster to the Exchange server. See On-premises Notes (EWS).

Your Exchange administrator can set up the server side in the Exchange Management Shell:

# Full Access for the service account on the target mailbox
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity <mailbox> -User <service-account> -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

# Send As for the service account on the target mailbox (only for the send and forward tools)
Add-ADPermission -Identity <mailbox> -User <service-account> -ExtendedRights "Send As"

# EWS enabled for the mailbox
Set-CASMailbox -Identity <mailbox> -EWSEnabled $true

# NTLM (Windows authentication) enabled on the EWS virtual directory
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "<server>\EWS (Default Web Site)" -WindowsAuthentication $true

If EWS or NTLM is turned off, the toolkit reports rejected credentials or denied access. See Troubleshooting.

note

If your Exchange server is on an internal network, ask the platform administrator to add its host name or subnet to EXCHANGE_EWS_ALLOWED_HOSTS. See Microsoft Exchange (EWS) in the API configuration guide. Until then, the EWS URL is rejected.

Setting Up Integration

1. Navigate to Integrations

• Go to Integrations
• Select User Integrations or Project Integrations based on your needs:
  • User Integrations: Available only to you across all projects
  • Project Integrations: Shared with all members of the selected project
• Click + Create

2. Configure Integration Settings

• Credential Type: Select Microsoft Exchange
• Alias: Provide a descriptive name (e.g., "Support Inbox")
• Authentication Type: Select OAuth via Microsoft Entra ID Application or NTLM
• Mailbox: The address of the target mailbox (e.g., user@example.com). Required in both modes.

3. Set Up Authentication

The form shows only the fields of the selected authentication type, and only those fields are required.

OAuth via Microsoft Entra ID Application:

Field	Description
Microsoft Entra ID Tenant	The tenant ID of your Microsoft Entra ID directory
Microsoft Entra ID Application Client ID	The application (client) ID of the app registration
Microsoft Entra ID Application Secret	A client secret of the app registration

NTLM:

Field	Description
EWS URL	The direct EWS endpoint, for example https://mail.contoso.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx. See EWS URL
Service Account Username	The service account with Full Access to the mailbox, as DOMAIN\username, for example DOMAIN\svc-codemie
Service Account Password	The password of the service account

Authentication Details

Your sensitive information (the application secret and the service account password) is encrypted for security and displayed in a masked format. When updating non-sensitive information, masked values remain unchanged and secure.

4. Save Integration

• Click + Save to store the integration

Testing the Connection

Use the Test button on the integration to check the settings. The test signs in and checks that the Inbox of the target mailbox can be read. An empty Inbox passes the test.

• On success, the message is "Connection and Inbox access verified."

  

• If required fields for the selected authentication type are missing or invalid, the message is "The Exchange connection settings are invalid. Check the required fields for the selected authentication type."

• For any other failure, the test shows one of the fixed messages listed in Troubleshooting.

note

The test only checks read access. It does not check the Mail.ReadWrite or Mail.Send permissions (OAuth) or the Send As permission (NTLM). Missing write permissions show up when a write tool is first used. See Write Operation Errors.

Tools

The toolkit has four read tools and five write tools. Both groups work the same way in assistants and in workflows, and in both authentication modes. A workflow refers to the tools by their technical names, listed in Using in Workflows.

Read Tools

The read tools never change the mailbox.

Tool	What it does
Exchange: Retrieve folders	Lists the mailbox folders with their ID, name, total item count and unread count.
Exchange: Read messages	Lists messages in a folder, newest first. Returns ID, subject, sender, received time, read state and whether the message has attachments. Never marks messages as read.
Exchange: Retrieve message by id	Returns one message by its ID: the summary fields plus To, Cc and the body as plain text.
Exchange: Enrich message body	Returns the message body plus text extracted from its attachments.

Exchange: Read messages parameters:

• folder: defaults to Inbox. Both modes accept:

  • a well-known folder name: inbox, drafts, sentitems, deleteditems, junkemail, outbox, msgfolderroot and a few system folders. archive (also clutter and scheduled) works in OAuth mode only;
  • a folder ID, as returned by Exchange: Retrieve folders;
  • a folder name, matched case-insensitively.

  The folder list includes subfolders. It is flattened and carries no path, so two folders with the same name are ambiguous: the first match wins. Use the folder ID to pick a specific one.

• start: the offset to start from, default 0.

• count: the number of messages to return, default 10, maximum 50.

Exchange: Enrich message body details:

• Images are processed with OCR. Text is extracted from PDF and DOCX files.
• Only PDF files with a text layer are extracted. A scanned PDF is not OCR-ed, so it returns little or no text and is listed as "text extraction failed".
• Other attachment types, such as XLSX, TXT or EML, are skipped as "unsupported attachment type".
• Limits: at most 10 attachments per message, 10 MB per attachment and 25 MB in total.
• An optional OCR model can be set with ocr_model. If it is not set, an assistant uses a multimodal model from the platform's model list. The assistant's own model is used only when the platform has no multimodal model configured, and then it must be multimodal, otherwise images are skipped with "text extraction failed". A workflow tool node has no assistant model, so it needs ocr_model. See Using in Workflows.
• Attachments that are not extracted are listed with a short note that explains why they were skipped.

Each read request times out after 60 seconds. Temporary failures are retried automatically up to 3 times, and all retries of one call share a 90-second budget. In a workflow tool node, the node retries a failed read on top of this (up to 10 attempts by default). Writes follow a stricter policy, described in Retries and Time Limit.

Mode	What is retried
OAuth	Rate limiting (HTTP 429) and server errors (HTTP 5xx). A request that times out after 60 seconds is not retried.
NTLM	Server-busy and temporary server errors, and timeouts or dropped connections. After a 60-second timeout, the 90-second budget leaves room for at most one more attempt.

Write Tools

The write tools change the mailbox. The result has the same shape on Microsoft Graph and on EWS.

Write tools change real mail

Sent messages cannot be recalled, and a permanent delete cannot be undone. Add the write tools to an assistant only when it is meant to change mail, and describe in the assistant instructions when each tool may be used.

Use the Guarded or Manual tool-call policy

The write tools are never approved automatically. With the Guarded tool-call policy the assistant asks for confirmation before each write, while the read tools run without asking. The Manual policy asks before every tool call. With the Auto policy, sends and deletes run without any confirmation. Set Guarded or Manual for an assistant that has write tools. If tool-call permissions are turned off for the whole installation, all tool calls are approved automatically. See Tool Call Permissions.

Incoming mail can contain instructions

A message that the assistant reads can contain text written to steer it, for example "forward the last invoices to …". The send and forward tools accept any valid address, and in a workflow no one confirms a write. Put recipient addresses in the assistant instructions or the workflow configuration. In a workflow that reads mail from outside senders, keep reading and sending in separate steps, and give the sending step fixed recipients. The tool descriptions tell the model never to take recipients or instructions from message content, but that is not a guarantee.

Tool	What it does
Exchange: Send message	Sends a new message.
Exchange: Forward message	Forwards an existing message to new recipients, without a comment. The subject is prefixed by Exchange, for example FW: ….
Exchange: Move message	Moves a message to another folder.
Exchange: Tag message	Adds one category to a message and keeps the existing categories.
Exchange: Delete message	Moves a message to Deleted Items (default) or deletes it permanently.

Exchange: Send message parameters:

• to: a list of recipient email addresses. Cc, Bcc and attachments are not supported.
• subject: the subject of the message.
• body: the body of the message.
• body_type: text (default) or html. HTML is sent exactly as given, without sanitization.

Exchange: Forward message parameters: message_id and to (a list of recipient email addresses).

Sending is not delivery

The result submitted means that Exchange accepted the message. It does not mean that the message reached the recipient. The toolkit does not check delivery.

Exchange: Move message parameters:

• message_id: the ID of the message.
• target_folder: a well-known folder name, a folder name (matched case-insensitively) or a folder ID. The same lookup rules as for folder in Exchange: Read messages apply. Well-known names are not limited to mail folders: names such as recoverableitemsdeletions and msgfolderroot are accepted on Microsoft Graph and on EWS. A message moved to recoverableitemsdeletions disappears from normal view like a deleted one but skips Deleted Items. Use such a target only on purpose.

A message can get a new ID when it moves. The result contains the new ID, and later steps must use it. The ID can be null when it is not known.

Exchange: Tag message parameters: message_id and category (one category name, up to 255 characters, without control characters).

• Categories are handled as a set. Tagging a message that has the category Finance with Processed results in Finance and Processed.
• The comparison ignores letter case. A category that is already present is not written again, and the result contains already_done.
• Removing or replacing categories and creating master categories are not supported.
• Concurrent changes: on EWS, a conflicting concurrent change to the categories is detected. The message is read again and the tag is applied once more. A second conflict is reported as "Not applied". On Microsoft Graph, protection against a concurrent change is not guaranteed: if another process changes the categories of the same message at the same moment, one of the changes can be lost.

Exchange: Delete message parameters:

• message_id: the ID of the message.
• soft: true (default) moves the message to Deleted Items, where it can be recovered. false deletes the message permanently.

Permanent delete

soft=false removes the message from normal access and cannot be undone through the toolkit. A retention policy or a litigation hold can still keep a copy, but immediate physical erasure is not guaranteed. Use it only when permanent deletion is explicitly required.

A soft delete of a message that is already in Deleted Items does nothing and returns already_done. A repeated or retried default delete never turns into a permanent delete.

A soft delete is a move, so the message usually gets a new ID. To repeat a soft delete, use the message_id from the result. The original ID is then not found and is reported as Unknown., not as already_done.

Results

Each write tool returns a JSON result.

Tool	Result
Exchange: Send message	status (submitted), to, subject
Exchange: Forward message	status (submitted), message_id, to
Exchange: Move message	status (moved), message_id (new ID), target_folder
Exchange: Tag message	status (tagged), message_id, categories (the resulting set)
Exchange: Delete message	status (deleted), soft, message_id (new ID after a soft delete)

already_done is added to the result of move, tag and soft delete when the mailbox was already in the requested state and nothing was written.

Not Applied and Unknown

A write that fails always ends in one of two outcomes. The error message contains the outcome:

Message contains	Meaning
Not applied.	The mailbox is unchanged. The request never reached Exchange, or Exchange rejected it before changing anything.
Unknown.	The change may or may not have been made. A timeout, a lost connection or a server error after the submission, or a message that cannot be found on move or delete.

Each individual write on the server either completes fully or changes nothing. A lost response is not a partial change.

After Not applied., fix the cause that the message names and repeat the request. After Unknown., check the mailbox before repeating:

• Send and forward are never repeated automatically. Check the Sent Items folder first, because repeating the request can send a second message. The toolkit keeps no history of earlier calls, so the caller must handle duplicate sending.
• Move and delete are never submitted a second time. The toolkit makes one read to check whether the message is now in the target folder. If that is confirmed, the call succeeds. If not, for example because the message ID changed during the move, the result stays Unknown.. A message that cannot be found is Unknown. and not Not applied., both in the read before the change and when the move or soft delete is sent, because an earlier attempt may already have moved or deleted it. Only a malformed message ID is Not applied..
• Permanent delete first reads the message. A malformed message ID is Not applied., and nothing is deleted. A missing message is Unknown., because an earlier attempt may already have deleted it. A message that disappears while the delete is sent stays Unknown. as well. A permanent delete is never confirmed automatically, because a missing message does not prove that this call deleted it.

Where the message appears depends on where the tool runs:

• In chat, the text is wrapped: Error calling tool: exchange_move with: Arguments: {...}. The root cause is: 'Not applied. …'. The outcome is inside the message, not at its start, and the input values of the call are shown in the Arguments part.
• In a workflow tool node, the message is shown as it is, with the outcome at its start.
• An argument of the wrong type is rejected before the toolkit runs and has no outcome. In chat the message begins with "Error parsing tool input", and in a workflow with "Tool method arguments are not correct".

Retries and Time Limit

The whole call has one 90-second limit. It includes the sign-in, the reads that precede a change, the request and the waiting between attempts. The limit does not cancel or roll back a change that Exchange has already accepted.

A write is submitted at most 3 times: the first attempt and up to two retries. A retry happens only when the previous attempt provably changed nothing and the cause is temporary:

• OAuth: the request was rejected with rate limiting (HTTP 429).
• NTLM: Exchange answered that the server is busy and gave a back-off time.

When Exchange gives a wait time, the toolkit waits at least that long. If the wait does not fit into the remaining time, the call stops with "Not applied" and a rate-limit message. Without a wait time, the wait is random, between 0 and 1 second before the first retry and between 0 and 2 seconds before the second. This applies only to a Microsoft Graph rate-limit response without a Retry-After header. NTLM never retries without a wait time from Exchange, and the single repeat after a tag conflict does not wait.

Authentication, permission and input errors are not retried. A timeout or a server error after the submission is not retried either. It ends as Unknown..

A workflow tool node does not run a failed write again by itself, so a retry never sends a second message or repeats a delete. The failed node stops the workflow. Checking the mailbox after Unknown. and repeating the step is up to the workflow author.

Input Checks

Before anything is submitted, the toolkit checks the input. An invalid value ends as "Not applied. The input was not valid, so nothing was sent. Check the input values, then try again." The message text does not contain the value itself. In chat, the call arguments are shown next to the message, as described in Not Applied and Unknown.

• Recipient addresses must be a non-empty list of valid email addresses.
• body_type must be exactly text or html.
• Message IDs, folder names and categories must not be blank and must not start or end with whitespace. A recipient address is at most 254 characters long.
• soft must be true or false.

Sender

Messages are sent as the target mailbox, not as the identity that signs in, and appear in the Sent Items of the target mailbox. Exchange: Send message is a second way of sending mail, next to the SMTP-based Email Sender tool. Exchange: Send message sends through the Exchange mailbox, while Email Sender sends through an SMTP server. The assistant instructions should say which of the two tools to use.

Using in Assistants

1. Add the Toolkit

When creating or editing an assistant:

• Navigate to Assistants section
• Click + Create Assistant or edit an existing one
• In Available tools, add Microsoft Exchange
• Select your Microsoft Exchange integration from the dropdown

The integration is selected once for the whole toolkit. All tools use it.

For what each tool does, see Tools. If the assistant has write tools, set the Guarded or Manual tool-call policy. See Write Tools.

2. Example Prompts

List the folders in the mailbox and show how many unread messages each one has.

Open the latest message from billing@example.com and extract the text of its PDF attachments.

Tag every message from billing@example.com in the Inbox with the category "Invoice", then move it to the folder "Invoices".

Forward the latest message in the Inbox to support@example.com.

For a request such as "List the folders of this mailbox, then show the newest 5 messages in the Inbox and classify each one.", the assistant calls Exchange: Retrieve folders and then Exchange: Read messages:

Using in Workflows

A workflow refers to the tools by their technical names, not by the labels shown in the assistant form. Set integration_alias to the alias of the Microsoft Exchange integration.

Technical name	Arguments
exchange_retrieve_folders	None
exchange_read	folder (default Inbox), start (default 0), count (default 10, maximum 50)
exchange_retrieve_by_id	message_id (required)
exchange_enrich_body	message_id (required), ocr_model (optional name of a multimodal model used for images)
exchange_send	to (required, list), subject (required), body (required), body_type (text or html)
exchange_forward	message_id (required), to (required, list)
exchange_move	message_id (required), target_folder (required)
exchange_tag	message_id (required), category (required)
exchange_delete	message_id (required), soft (default true)

OCR in workflow tool nodes

When exchange_enrich_body runs as a tool node, no assistant model is available. Set ocr_model in tool_args to the name of a multimodal model. Otherwise every image attachment is skipped and listed as "no OCR model provided". An assistant in a workflow, as in the second example below, uses a multimodal model from the platform's model list.

Example of a tool that reads the newest messages of a folder:

tools:
  - id: read-inbox
    tool: exchange_read
    tool_args:
      folder: Inbox
      count: 20
    integration_alias: support-inbox

states:
  - id: fetch-messages
    tool_id: read-inbox
    next:
      state_id: summarize

An assistant in a workflow lists the tools under tools with name and integration_alias:

assistants:
  - id: mail-assistant
    model: gpt-4.1-mini
    system_prompt: |
      You summarize the mailbox.
    tools:
      - name: exchange_read
        integration_alias: support-inbox
      - name: exchange_enrich_body
        integration_alias: support-inbox

Example of tools that mark a processed message and move it to another folder. The message_id is taken from the workflow context:

tools:
  - id: tag-processed
    tool: exchange_tag
    tool_args:
      message_id: '{{message_id}}'
      category: Processed
    integration_alias: support-inbox

  - id: move-processed
    tool: exchange_move
    tool_args:
      message_id: '{{message_id}}'
      target_folder: Processed
    integration_alias: support-inbox

Assistants in workflows

An assistant node, like an assistant in chat, can call a write tool again after an error, including a send after Unknown.. Add an instruction to the assistant, for example: "After an Unknown result from an Exchange write tool, do not repeat the call. Check the mailbox with the read tools, or report the result to the user." Also tell it not to take recipient addresses from the content of a message. See Write Tools.

Move and tag are well suited as progress markers in a workflow that processes a mailbox: a message that is moved to a "Processed" folder or tagged with a category is easy to skip in the next run. The toolkit does not prevent two overlapping runs from handling the same message and does not keep a history of earlier calls.

For the full workflow syntax, see the Workflow Configuration Reference.

On-premises Notes (EWS)

EWS URL

• Only https is supported. If you enter a bare host name, the connection is made over https.
• URLs that contain embedded credentials are rejected.
• Example: https://mail.contoso.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx.
• Autodiscover is not used. Enter the direct EWS endpoint. If the endpoint redirects the request, the toolkit stops with the message "The Exchange endpoint redirected the request. Configure the direct EWS endpoint URL."
• The default placeholder in the form shows the Exchange Online EWS URL. For on-premises Exchange, replace it with your own server's endpoint.

Address rules. Before connecting, the toolkit checks where the EWS URL points:

• A host name is resolved (A and AAAA records), and every address it resolves to must pass the rules below.
• Loopback, link-local (including 169.254.169.254), unspecified and multicast addresses are always rejected, and so is localhost. The allowlist does not override this.
• Private and other non-public addresses (RFC 1918 ranges, IPv6 ULA, CGNAT and reserved ranges) are rejected unless the platform administrator lists the host name or a matching CIDR in EXCHANGE_EWS_ALLOWED_HOSTS. This applies to host names and to IP addresses, so an on-premises server entered by IP address works once its address is covered by a listed CIDR.
• Public addresses are always allowed.
• A rejected address returns "The configured Exchange EWS endpoint is not usable. Check the endpoint URL."
• A host name that does not resolve, or a lookup that takes longer than 5 seconds, returns "The Exchange service is unreachable. Try again later."

Platform administrators must make sure that:

• the EWS host name resolves from the CodeMie cluster;
• egress and firewall rules allow HTTPS from the CodeMie backend pods to the Exchange host, on the port in the EWS URL (443 by default; for example https://mail.contoso.local:8443/EWS/Exchange.asmx uses port 8443);
• an Exchange server on a private address is listed in EXCHANGE_EWS_ALLOWED_HOSTS. See Microsoft Exchange (EWS).

TLS / CA Certificate

The certificate of the Exchange server must chain to a CA that the CodeMie backend trusts. There is no field in the integration to upload a certificate or to turn off certificate verification. If the certificate cannot be verified, the toolkit shows "The TLS certificate of the Exchange service could not be verified. Check the endpoint certificate configuration."

For a self-signed certificate or one from an internal CA, the platform administrator adds the CA to the codemie-api chart. See CA Certificate for the Exchange Server.

Troubleshooting

The toolkit and the Test button show fixed messages. Error text from Microsoft is never shown. Search this table for the exact text of the message. In chat, parts of a message can be masked: the NTLM credentials message can appear as "Check the configured username *** password.".

Message	Likely cause	Fix
"The Exchange service account credentials were rejected. Check the configured username and password." (NTLM)	Wrong service account username or password, a username that is not in the DOMAIN\username format, or NTLM (Windows authentication) is off on the EWS virtual directory	Check Service Account Username and Service Account Password. Ask your Exchange administrator to enable NTLM on the EWS virtual directory. See NTLM (Exchange Web Services)
"Delegate access to the mailbox is denied or the mailbox does not exist." (NTLM)	The service account has no Full Access permission on the mailbox, EWS is disabled for the mailbox, or the mailbox is wrong	Grant the Full Access mailbox permission to the service account, enable EWS for the mailbox, or correct Mailbox. See NTLM (Exchange Web Services)
"The configured Exchange EWS endpoint is not usable. Check the endpoint URL."	The EWS URL is not https or contains credentials, points to localhost or a loopback or link-local address, or resolves to a private address that is not allowlisted	Enter the https EWS endpoint. For a private address, ask the platform administrator to add the host name or subnet to EXCHANGE_EWS_ALLOWED_HOSTS. See EWS URL
"The Exchange endpoint redirected the request. Configure the direct EWS endpoint URL."	The URL points to a page that redirects, not to the EWS endpoint	Enter the direct EWS endpoint, for example https://mail.contoso.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx
"The TLS certificate of the Exchange service could not be verified. Check the endpoint certificate configuration."	The server certificate does not chain to a CA the backend trusts	Ask a platform administrator to add the CA. See CA Certificate for the Exchange Server
"Administrator consent is missing or was revoked for the required Microsoft Graph permissions." (OAuth)	Admin consent was not granted for Mail.Read, or it was revoked	Grant admin consent for the application permission in Microsoft Entra ID
"The Microsoft Graph client secret has expired. Ask an administrator to issue a new secret." (OAuth)	The value in Microsoft Entra ID Application Secret has expired	Create a new client secret and update the integration
"The Microsoft Graph client secret is invalid. Check the configured client secret." (OAuth)	The value in Microsoft Entra ID Application Secret is wrong	Check that you copied the secret value, not the secret ID, and update the integration
"Access to this mailbox was denied. Check that the app registration has the Mail.Read application permission with administrator consent, and that no Application Access Policy blocks the mailbox." (OAuth)	Microsoft Graph returns the same error when administrator consent for Mail.Read is missing and when an Exchange Application Access Policy does not include the mailbox	Grant admin consent for the Mail.Read application permission, and ask your Exchange administrator to add the mailbox to the Application Access Policy
"Microsoft Graph rejected the access token. Retry the request or check the app registration." (OAuth)	The access token was rejected, for example because of a temporary problem or a misconfigured app registration	Retry the request. If it keeps failing, check the app registration
"The requested OCR model is not available. Omit ocr_model to use the assistant's default model."	The ocr_model argument of Exchange: Enrich message body names a model that does not exist or that the project cannot use	Omit ocr_model, or use the name of a multimodal model that is available in the project
"The Exchange service is unreachable. Try again later."	The host name does not resolve from the cluster, the lookup takes longer than 5 seconds, or DNS, firewall or egress rules block the connection	Check that the host resolves from the cluster and that HTTPS egress is allowed on the port of the EWS URL (443 by default)

Other fixed messages cover an unknown tenant or application, a mailbox that is not found or not enabled for REST, rate limiting, a server that does not respond in time, temporary server errors, and folders or messages that do not exist.

Write Operation Errors

Every write error message contains Not applied. or Unknown.. See Not Applied and Unknown. Sign-in and connection problems have the same causes as in the table above, but the write messages are worded differently: they say that nothing was changed and end with what to do. Use the table above to find the cause and the fix. With NTLM, a mailbox that does not exist is reported as "Not applied. The mailbox was not found…", not as the "Delegate access…" message of the read tools.

Permission errors have their own fixes:

Message contains	Likely cause	Fix
"Not applied. Access to send mail from this mailbox was denied…" (OAuth)	Mail.Send is missing or has no administrator consent, or an Application Access Policy blocks the mailbox. The message does not say which of these applies	Grant the Mail.Send application permission with administrator consent, and check the Application Access Policy
"Not applied. Access to change this mailbox was denied…" (OAuth)	Mail.ReadWrite is missing or has no administrator consent, or an Application Access Policy blocks the mailbox. The message does not say which applies	Grant the Mail.ReadWrite application permission with administrator consent, and check the Application Access Policy
"Not applied. The Exchange service account was not allowed to send as this mailbox…" (NTLM)	The service account has no Send As permission or no access to the Sent Items folder of the mailbox, or mailbox access is restricted	Grant Send As and Full Access to the service account. See NTLM (Exchange Web Services)
"Not applied. The Exchange service account was not allowed to change this mailbox…" (NTLM)	The service account has no write rights on the mailbox, or mailbox access is restricted	Grant Full Access to the service account. See NTLM (Exchange Web Services)

Other write errors:

• "Not applied. The mail folder was not found…" or "Not applied. The message was not found…": the folder or message ID is wrong, or the message was moved or deleted and its ID changed. Use the folder ID from Exchange: Retrieve folders and read the message list again for the current message ID. With NTLM, a missing folder can also mean that the service account has no delegate rights on the mailbox. With NTLM, a write changes only messages in the configured mailbox. A message ID from another mailbox that the service account can reach is reported exactly like a missing message: as "Not applied. The message was not found…" for forward and tag, and as "Unknown. The message was not found…" for move and delete.
• "Not applied. The input was not valid, so nothing was sent…": an input value failed the toolkit's own check before anything was sent. See Input Checks.
• "Not applied. Exchange rejected the request as invalid…": the value passed the toolkit's check, but Exchange rejected it. Check the input values.
• Other "Not applied." messages, such as rate limiting, a used-up time limit, a mailbox read that failed before the change, a rejected request or a concurrent category change: nothing was changed. Repeat the operation, after a while for rate limiting. See Retries and Time Limit.
• "Unknown. The message was not found…" on move or delete: an earlier attempt may already have moved or deleted the message, so its ID changed. Look for the message in the target folder or in Deleted Items, and use the new message ID from the message list.
• Other "Unknown." messages: the change may have been made. Follow the checks in Not Applied and Unknown. With NTLM, a permanent delete by an account without delete rights currently ends as "Unknown. An unexpected error occurred while changing the mailbox…", not as an access error.

Limitations
