Accept & Do Not Send a Response
Hi Calendar Community, We'd like your feedback & reactions to a change we're considering: Current experience: When attendees receive a meeting invite, they are provided with 3 response options: The first two options (Edit the response before sending & Send the response now) both send an email to the organizer, and the attendee's response is recorded in the organizer's tracking list. The third option (Do not send a response) does not notify organizer, so the attendee's response remains as "None" in the organizer's tracking list. What we'd like to change: Many users report that they expect Do not send a response to be recorded in the organizer's tracking list, but just not to send an email. We are considering updating the behavior so that all 3 response options are recorded in the organizer's tracking list. Attendees can still use the Do not send a response option to avoid sending email to the organizer, but their response would now be recorded & shared with organizer. Questions to the Community: Do you like this change? Does this match what you & others are expecting? What about when an organizer does not request responses (so there is just a simple Accept button without additional options)? Do you think the intention is to avoid email responses? In other words, would you expect this same behavior (responses are always recorded) to apply even when organizer does not request responses?
The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches
I appreciate the benefits of Microsoft Search in the Office apps but I'm getting feedback form multiple people that having the search in the title bar is unhelpful because they need to use the title bar for dragging the window around. In Outlook in particular, having the search box so far away from the content that you're searching is jarring. I understand the value of consistency, but I think that the utility of putting search with the content it searches overrides being consistent at all costs. Can we have an option to move the search box back down to the content in Outlook, and perhaps not to have it in title bars at all?
Stock Data Types Wont Refresh - Provides Erroneous Error Message
I have an Excel workbook I created a few months ago and this afternoon while I was away, the "stocks" data type refresh feature stopped refreshing. The error message I receive instructs me to sign in to an account associated with this product (Excel), but I am clearly signed in. To be sure, I sign out and sign back in. Hit 'refresh' and receive the same error message. MS tech support tried to make a manual repair during a chat session, but it still will not refresh. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Sending email as alias in office365?
I used to have my domain email hosted in office 365. The reason i switched was because of a lack of a feature i really needed. You had the ability to create multiple aliases in office 365 so you could receive multiple emails for your domain in your inbox. For example say my domain was example.org. I could recieve emails from bob@example.org <--primary email address orders@example.org newsletters@example.org. the only big thing missing was that you could not "send" from any email other than the primary email. so in the example above i could not send email as orders@example.org or newsletters@example.org. I could only send email as bob@example.org. Is this still true or can you send email from aliases? I don't want it to look like it came from the primary email "orders@example.org in care of bob@example.org". The email i send with an alias should really look like it came from the alias. This is the only reason i'm on GApps and i'm hope to swtich back. Is this feature still missing? thanks

How can I escalate issues in Office 365?
I have had a support case running with 365 for a couple of weeks. They close the ticket over the New Zealand weekend because of time differences, I reopen it and then have to provide the same information again. My question is, how can I escalate poor service? Cheers MarkOutlook (365) Need Password - Issue
Hi, We are using E3, outlook 365 in our company. Some of our users' outlook stop sync with exchange and ask for password, as shown in below image: to fix the issue, I clear entries in Credential Manager, Delete Temporary Files, unchecked "Use Cached Exchange mode", restart system and check this again. but after some couple of days, outlook again stop sync and ask for password. I'll appreciate for any possible support to fix this issue permanently. Thanks,
Remove On Premises exchange Hybrid and go fully Online
Hello, I currently have a scenario where there is a Hybrid Exchange environment with 1 server. All my mailboxes have been migrated online. I would like to completely remove dependency on local AD and I do not care about AD synchronization. How do I "tell" the O365 tenant not function on it's own so that I can manage 100% from 365 Administration? I do understand that my MX and other DNS records will need to be changed. Are there any solid guides out there on decommissioning the on premise exchange server. I want to do this with the least impact on users. Thanks, KeithOffice 365 "The fine print" popup message - is it legitimate?
Greetings, I have been happily using Office 365 (mostly Word) for many years, and I have never had any problems with any of the products. This morning when I loaded Word I was confronted by a pop-up message called "The fine print" asking me to accept terms of use in order to continue. I have been using Word for several years on this computer and I have never seen anything like this, I just want to confirm that this pop-up message is in fact legitimate and not some form of spyware or adware impersonating Microsoft. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Glenn Here is a screenshot of the pop-up:
