MS Teams file attachments and changing primary email address
-
I have a client that wanted to change their primary email addresses. I am noticing now that in Teams where they have attached files, the links are not longer valid because the url points to their old primary address. If you open the link and then modify the url to their new address, the links will download the attached files. I guess my question is there a way to update the primary email address of a user without breaking all the links in Teams?

Can't you just leave their primary email address alone and simply assign an alias to their account?

Unfortunately no, they wanted to change their domain to something shorter.
I guess I should have said their OneDrive/Sharepoint links are broken. Similar to what is mentioned in this article.

Sadly MS is way behind the curve when it comes to more than a single email address attached to an account. There is no way I've been able to find to Send as those other addresses, which I'm assuming is what the client wants in this case.

So the only way I see you can fix this is to login to the AzureAD portal and change the UPN to the original email address and then make sure the primary email address is the new updated email address. The downside is that when you want to sign into Teams, Outlook, etc. you have to use the original email address that matches the UPN even though your primary email address is different.

It’s good that MS is upgrading Outlook to make it work better with Teams work. let's see what happens

Or people could catch up to 2003 and have everything fully integrated already like all of MS' competitors have had for nearly two decades now, lol. The use of Outlook remains pretty silly and it would be better if no one cared rather than MS trying to shoehorn Teams into a product that people shouldn't be deploying.
