Hello,

Actually, I finally found out the issue.  
I was using the full mail address instead of alias of mailbox.  
So the working syntax are :

> input {  
> imap {  
> host =\> "[outlook.office365.com](http://outlook.office365.com)"  
> user =\> "[user@mydomain.com](mailto:user@mydomain.com)\sharedmailboxAlias"  
> password =\> "myUserPassWord"  
> secure =\> true  
> }   
> }

The **sharedmailboxAlias** is not the address mail but the alias of the shared mailbox.

Best regards,  
Alex.
