This is the code I am trying to connect to Office365 mailbox

            UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
            string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path);
            path = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);

            RedemptionLoader.DllLocation32Bit = string.Concat(path, @"\Redemption.dll");
            RedemptionLoader.DllLocation64Bit = string.Concat(path, @"\Redemption64.dll");

            RDOSession session = RedemptionLoader.new_RDOSession();

To connect to an Office 365 mailbox (or any mailbox on Exchange 2013 or 2016), you will need the Outlook version of MAPI (Outlook 2010 SP2, Outlook 2013 SP1, or Outlook 2016) - the standalone version of MAPI cannot connect as Exchange will refuse the connection.

Also note that the first argument in LogonHostedExchangeMailbox is the SMTP address of the user, not a server name.
