Just ran into the same problem and found an explanation here. It appears we're going to have to wait for the accounts to be enabled unless you request a testing account as described in the link. Confirmed the same results when using the non-enabled account in the Outlook Oauth Sandbox.

From the first link

  • Because enabling mailboxes on Outlook.com for the Outlook REST API happens over a period of time, your existing Outlook.com account may take a while to get enabled. To test your app accessing data on Outlook.com mailboxes that have already been enabled, you can request a new, enabled Outlook.com developer preview account by emailing [email protected].
  • If your app accesses Outlook.com mailbox data, it should handle scenarios where the user's mailbox has not yet been enabled for the Outlook REST API. In such situations, when you make a REST request, you would get an error like the following:
    • HTTP error: 404
    • Error code: MailboxNotEnabledForRESTAPI or MailboxNotSupportedForRESTAPI
    • Error message: “REST API is not yet supported for this mailbox.
