Reply-All Storm Suppression Only for Large Cloud Tenants
Publicity for Exchange for a Change I’ve been impressed by the amount of coverage given by mainstream IT reporters to Thursday’s announcement by the Exchange development group that they are rolling out a feature to suppress Reply-All storms. Few of the recent announcements by the Exchange group have received such attention, possibly because Teams hoovers […]

Contextual Search is Finally Coming to Teams Chat and Channels
It’s not too often that you realize an application that you are using frequently is missing some basic functionality. Especially with Teams, an application that is used by more than 75 million people every single day. But that’s the case with the search inside of Teams. While you can search from the top of the app […]

One of the big feature updates coming to Teams that many have been waiting for is the ability to chat with Skype contacts inside the Teams application.

What’s the Real Size of Exchange Online Mailboxes?
The Office 365 Substrate uses Exchange Online mailboxes to store a lot of data that users never see. The data is used by the substrate for different purposes, mostly to make it easier for features to get to relevant information. Microsoft doesn’t document exactly what is stored, where it is stored, and how it is used, so we must poke around in the innards of mailboxes to see what we can discover.

Using Microsoft Editor in Word and OWA
Microsoft’s new Editor feature is available to Office 365 users in Word (desktop and online) and other Office apps, including OWA (soon). Editor is all about helping people to write better text and its effect depends on how good your text is in the first place and how well you can use the suggestions Editor makes. The Online apps are more insistent than their desktop equivalents, but that might just be because Editor is more developed in those apps.

The Problem with Office 365 Backups
ISVs are sometimes criticized because their backup products don’t do a great job of handling Office 365 data. That might be true, but the real issue is the lack of APIs delivered by Microsoft. The available APIs are rooted in an on-premises heritage and don’t cover apps like Teams which knit together multiple cloud components. Future developments will increase the challenge.

Interpreting the Office 365 MailItemsAccessed Audit Event
If you have Office 365 E5 licenses, your mailboxes generate MailItemsAccessed events. These events are stored in the Office 365 audit log and can be used for investigating potentially compromised mailboxes. Useful information is in the audit events, but some processing is needed to extract the full benefit. Here’s how to do it with PowerShell.

Modern Authentication Becomes More Intelligent Inside Office 365
Azure Active Directory has implemented Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE), a technology to allow the directory to inform applications when security events occur. It’s then up to the applications to decide what to do. Exchange Online and Teams are the first Office 365 applications to benefit and updated clients are now being rolled out to support CAE.

How Exchange Online Processes Journal Reports for Protected Email
Office 365 tenants often want to journal email from Exchange Online mailboxes. Things become a little more complicated when protected email is involved, but Exchange can decrypt protected messages and create journal reports with attachments containing the original encrypted message and a decrypted copy. That should be enough for journaling systems to process the journal reports and import messages into their repositories.
