Changes to the way EOP moves email to Junk folder

Originally posted by Microsoft Apr 1, 2021 Exchange Online 0 Comments

Note: This change will only effect EOP customers with Exchange online mailboxes. EOP standalone customers with hybrid environments will have no impact.

Today EOP depends on the junk email rule to move spam/phish messages to a user’s Junk folder based on the spam confidence level set by EOP. Going forward EOP will use it’s own mailflow delivery agent to move malicious emails to the Junk folder depending on the policy set by security admins in Antispam policy. EOP will continue to honor the user safe sender/block sender preferences set in outlook just as the junk email rule does today.

Zip file partial downloads no longer available

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 30, 2021 OneDrive for Business 0 Comments

Starting May 2021, it will no longer be possible to download individual files or subsets of files within .zip file previews in OneDrive and SharePoint on the web . Instead we recommend downloading the entire .zip file, extracting its contents and using the files needed. In the past, we have received customer feedback that at times when a user selects a subset of files to download from within a .zip file, the files are not downloaded successfully. As we focus our investments on downloading entire .zip files, we are retiring the partial download feature as users can edit .zip files as needed once downloaded.
