Enable Shared Mailbox Support and Email Categories

To enable the following features, a Microsoft 365 admin must grant consent on behalf of all users. This article explains how to do so.

  • Saving emails and attachments from shared mailboxes to Microsoft 365.
  • Automatically adding email categories to saved emails.

Why is consent requested?

New harmon.ie requires consent to access Outlook emails and Microsoft 365 files that the user is authorized to see.

See harmon.ie App Consent and Required Permissions for a list of the default requested permissions.

To support reading from shared mailboxes, this additional permission is requested:

  • Mail.ReadWrite.Shared: Allows harmon.ie to read and write emails in mailboxes that have been shared with the signed-in user.

To support automatic email categories, these additional permissions are requested:

  • Mail.ReadWrite.Shared: Allows harmon.ie to add categories to emails.
  • MailboxSettings.ReadWrite: Allows harmon.ie to create master categories.
  • Calendars.ReadWrite.Shared: Allows harmon.ie to create categories in shared mailboxes. (This permission is required due to current Microsoft Graph permission dependencies; no calendar data is read or modified.)
