Find Related Search

Find Related is a quick way to search for similar emails, usually on threads, directly from the Message List. Currently supported by Win32 and requested for OWA (Microsoft Outlook on the Web)/Monarch, it relies on local search, which caused problems in the past. To mitigate future risks and pair clients it’s proposed to migrate Find Related to 3S and build support for it on OWA/Monarch.

Browse files by Meetings in OneDrive

So much of our collaboration happens in the context of meetings, yet how many times have you found yourself trying to scroll back and find a meeting recording from a month ago? Or spent time digging through email to find pre-reading material for an upcoming meeting so you can be prepared going in? With this new meetings view in OneDrive, you’ll be able to get back to all of your meeting content with just a few clicks! When you come to meetings view, you’ll first see any meetings in the next week that you might need to prepare for, followed by a list of meetings that have already occurred. This view brings together all content shared both in meeting invites, meeting chat, and meeting recordings all into one place for easy access! Here you’ll see a recurring meeting with multiple meeting recordings, all laid out sequentially so you can catch up on whatever you missed.

Users can get to latest file associated with recurring meetings by searching for the ‘meeting title’. In this version we have the start time of the first instance of a recurring meeting and are working on getting the start time of each instance so that users can see them in the right chronological order instead of only seeing the time of the first instance.

Introducing New Method to Clear Throttling Policy Assignments for Mailboxes

We are introducing a new parameter to the Set-Mailbox cmdlet, which will allow you to clear off a throttling policy association for a given mailbox. Over the years, you might have asked Microsoft Support to raise specific limits for some of your mailboxes (Transport limits, Recipient Rate limit, protocol limits – Exchange Web Services, ActiveSync, PowerShell). Until now, there has been no other way to revert those changes other than open another support case and wait for Microsoft Support to engage Microsoft Engineering.
