I am getting this error while try to accessin the resource mailbox. pls any one help me on this . I am new to EWS.

I am able to access the resource mailbox through OWA(Outlook web app). But i am not owner of this mailbox as it is shared mailbox.

my code:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = CertificateValidationCallBack;
ExchangeService newExchangeService = new ExchangeService  (ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
newExchangeService.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);
newExchangeService.AutodiscoverUrl(email-id, RedirectionUrlValidationCallback);

newExchangeService.ImpersonatedUserId = new ImpersonatedUserId(ConnectingIdType.SmtpAddress, email_which_i_want_to_access);

Folder visitorsFolder = Folder.Bind(newExchangeService, WellKnownFolderName.Inbox);
foreach (Folder childfolder in visitorsFolder.FindFolders(new FolderView(10)))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(childfolder.DisplayName);
        }
