Can you check that you can still open your own mailbox externally? There may be an issue with the server name you are using externally (it will probably be different to what you use internally), and host header names configured on your default web
site. But this would not affect only shared mailboxes.Outlook Web Access For PDA , OWA For WAP

Reverse proxy redirects it from port 80 to 443.

1. Which Exchange version are you using?
2. Is this an issue with all users?
3. Can you reproduce the issue?
4. Has this ever worked?

1. What error if any are you getting?
2. Pick one user, and try both methods in the link. (URL and OWA).

1. You say it works for one person, Is this still the case?
2. Pick a problem User. Verify the mailbox this User is trying to access has full mailbox permission on that mailbox.
3.Check the same as point 2 with the working user in point 1 if it still works?

1. Have you checked the permisison as stated above?
2. If you setup a similar scenario with a completly new user and a new shared mailbox, does this work?

Yes. I have full admin permission to all mailboxes and I receive the same error.

Hi,
You have to create a security group, add relevant users to that group and then grant full mailbox access to that group (you might also need to grant
Send As permission if that's a requirement).
When they access shared or group mailbox via Internet they would need to indicate alias in the URL (e.g.
https://owa.company.com/Exchange/aliasofthesharedmailbox)

Thank you. I tried creating a security group, adding relevant users to that group and then granting full mailbox access to that group
and I am still receiving the below message.

1. Seems like an issue with IIS. Check your IIS config and redirects.
2. Run the ExBPA against this server.
