High Volume Email is Generally Available and Ready to Charge
On April 1, Microsoft announced the general availability for the High-Volume Email (HVE) solution together with details of the PAYG charges incurred to send email to internal recipients, which is all that HVE can do. Microsoft will enable HVE charging on June 1, 2026, Before then, you’ll need to create a billing policy and link it to a valid Azure subscription if you want to continue to use HVE. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/23/hve-ga-charging/Is the Archive mailbox self-help diagnostic working for anyone?
Just curious: is the archive mailbox self-help diagnostic at https://aka.ms/PillarArchiveMailbox working for anyone? When I run it, instead of getting results about the user whose UPN I entered, I get this: The following issues were found with your archive mailbox. No account was found for [The UPN of my admin account]. Make sure you've entered the correct email address or create a new account with that name. For more information, see Add users to Office 365. I tried opening a ticket with Microsoft Support, but they refused to work on it without requiring me to do all the legwork of gathering logs and HAR traces and who knows what else, despite the fact that the support agent was able to replicate the exact same issue in his lab.
Preserving permissions during EXO migration
Hi, Can you help me understand the outcome of preserving the permissions in our scenario. Exchange Server 2016 (soon Exchange SE) in a hybrid with Exchange Online. We are moving 75% of the mailboxes to Exchange Online. What ways will preserve or break the full-access or sendas permissions? I guess best way would be to migrate both the user and the shared mailbox at the same time in the same batch to keep the permission? If we migrate the user in batch 1 and shared mailbox in batch 2 will that preserve/break the full access/send as? If we migrate the shared mailbox in batch 1 and usermailbox in batch 2 will that preserve/break the full access/send as? If the permission is linked directly on the shared mailbox or via a security group is there a difference? Thanks!
