Um, there are no email address policies in O365. Most likely the OP is trying to make the change from the O365 admin center... which is known to cause more harm than good with its "helpful" "features". I'd suggest making the change via PowerShell or the EAC.

If you are on hybrid thegreatdane, then it could be the policy issue I talk about in my response, otherwise prolly not :P. If you could give a few more specifics to how you are trying to make the change and environment we can go from there.

I'm on a pure cloud solution, and just starting out so all this policies/powershell is still new to me. But im getting there :)

Well there is, but it only applies to Groups. And we also have the "feature" that enforces at least one alias to match the UPN, which kinda works like an EAP.
