How to enable mail enabled contacts in 365?
Have a look at this article: https://newsignature.com/articles/exchange-online-mail-contact-with-internal-and-external-email-address/
Does it help?
Thank you for your help - I appreciate it!
I haven't tried it yet as I'm connecting from a Mac and not quite sure how to setup PS connection with the appropriate cmd lets to get this working.
This was all doable in GUI from the on-prem system - is there no way to do this by GUI in 365? If so - how? If not, is it on the roadmap? It seems odd to go to web based SaaS management and then have to use PS to adjust parameters. PS is ok, but it shouldn't be the only way.
If all the settings were exposed in the GUI, this will become enormously bloated...
Also, many admins are not really expert, so taking the less basic settings away from the GUI is reasonable.
All in all, the trend is therefore to expose only the basic settings in the GUI.
I disagree - when you deploy a SaaS solution there should be no need for backend work. Even ignoring that comment, things that were in the UI on prem before, should at least be in the UI in 365. Hiding past visible functions is a regression and not Admin friendly, especially as many admins do not have PowerShell experience are just technically-ish minded which is what 365 is about lowering the threshold of skills to manage systems through SaaS/GUI
I'm sure you've solved your problem by now, but I found this article that might be helpful while tackling a similar issue for myself.
