Deprecation of Mail flow features in classic Exchange admin center in WW service
Hello Exchange Team!
I have been working in the new Office 365 UX mail Flow Rule interface (https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/#/transportrules) and have noticed an important feature from the old interface (https://outlook.office365.com/ecp/?p=transportrules&form=eac) that is missing from the new interface. When using the search feature in the new interface, the search only returns results matching from the Rule Name, where searching in the old interface the search returns results of the Rule Contents and Rule Name.
There is now a banner on the new interface stating "The new mail flow rules UX is now the default in the new EAC. The old mail flow rules UX in the classic EAC is scheduled to be retired by the end of October 2022." But as of today, still appears to be functional.
I am hopeful that the Exchange Team is working on incorporating the feature of searching rule contents into the new interface and keeping the old interface accessible and operational until this feature is functional in the new interface. If this feature is lost it will be a significant impact on daily operations.
Regards,
Zach Crouch
