What's email Office 365? How to configure & use it?
0Find out What email Office 365 is.
i. Here are some common issues that can come up with Office 365's email services:
1. Sync errors - Where emails fail to sync properly between servers and devices leading to missing emails and data inconsistencies.
2. Outlook connectivity issues - Inability to connect to Exchange Online or authorize Outlook desktop client, typically due to authentication errors.
3. Mailbox size limits - Hitting Office 365 mailbox storage quotas resulting in send/receive failures until storage is freed up.
4. Spam false positives - Legitimate emails ending up incorrectly flagged as spam due to overactive filters. Important messages missed.
5. Exchange Online PowerShell access problems - Admins unable to use EOP PowerShell to manage users, licenses etc due to permission issues.
6. Autodiscover misconfigurations - Causing problems with auto-mapping Outlook profiles and connectivity capabilities.
7. Multi-factor authentication blocks - Users get unintentionally locked out if the MFA/2FA records with Office 365 are not updated.
8. Hybrid migration issues - On-prem Exchange to Office 365 migration getting stuck mid-sync leading to disjointed email routing.
9. Teams or Yammer notification errors - Causing email replies and updates related to Office 365 Groups/Teams/Yammer collaboration falling out of sync.
Proactively monitoring Office 365 Service Health status pages, having user guidance docs, and engaging Microsoft Support to troubleshoot when needed are key to addressing issues.
