I don't ever use it so I wouldn't notice really. The only thing I see is the new groups thingy. Which because we don't use Lync any longer is useless to me.

Thanks for the one week notice, Microsoft.

That is really bad. I understand axing something, but giving less than 2 weeks notice is crazy

Ah....but as said in the article: Microsoft will keep existing sites alive for two years, and Office 365 customers “will have the option to subscribe to third-party solutions by using links from Office 365.”

I read the article but totally missed that paragraph for some reason....

I'm working my way through this document currently.

This is rather frustrating.

User Account setup completes normally, but when you open Outlook it asks for a password repeatedly. When you hit cancel you get this 'error'..

I found another KB which didn't do any better either.

They should have more info about it and announcements if they are telling writers and having them put it in the news as if it is showing up via O365's normal processes. That's very confusing and does nothing to make people happy with the product.

If it is, why in the world did they buy Nokia?

To keep them from suddenly dropping WP and going to Android?

Oh the thread, I see.

@ajstringham exactly. Because cloud vs. premise is all a matter of perspective.

Did you try disabling it then re-enabling it?

@scottalanmiller said:

Did you turn it off and back on again? 😉

The problem with that though is that it fails on multiple services. Both Outlook web app and IMAP (ManageEngine ServiceDesk). So this to me indicates a higher level problem as they can individually disabled..

While I can't tell you the date I created the rule, looking at my mailbox, I have not seen a [SPAM] tag email since Sept 4th.
I've turned it off to see what happens, and will try as you have mentioned the report option.

There has always been SPAM filtering. It is reporting the SPAM to Microsoft to review that appears to be brand new.

This is a huge benefit. Also a good portal into lifetime subscriptions.. We'll see how it plays out once people start graduating.

I still have my community college email, and I just used it for this offer and it worked. I've attended off and on since 2006 though.

Does it give a personal O365 account, or a business style one ? I'm guessing the business style, with an email address of the school?

As far as I can tell, it appears to be business style. There's a Sharepoint page too.

@scottalanmiller Thanks! I found this website to help me with the differences.

I like it all integrated and together, but that's me.

So weird, you click on Not Junk and it asks if you always trust. Bah...that doesn't work.

Reading can be informational!

I have also manually added email addresses to Safe Senders in Oulook's Junk E-mail options.

..that and the fact that it seems a bit crap and unreliable.

Dispatch seems only to 'mirror' my main account...

But it's totally unmanageable for anything other than tiny environments. To the degree that I would say the low cost version is no longer available.

Yeah, If only that were true, that's it no longer available. The powers that be know they exist because they see it in the store 'Office Home Business Edition'

I'm with Katie on this. How exactly are these addresses/mailboxes being used?

Or, more to the point how do you WANT them to be used?

Yes it has been down for a couple hours here. We have all moved over to Skype for company communications because Lync is so flaky anyway. Now this is just one more reason to stay there.
