Microsoft will retire the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) application impersonation role in Exchange Online in May 2024. Applications widely use this role in Exchange Online as it enables them to impersonate users in the tenant to perform actions on behalf of the users. You must migrate all your applications from using this role to other options. This article will explore Microsoft's reasoning behind this move and the current alternatives.

Microsoft 365 has deprecated the search-mailbox cmdlet, a decision that has faced considerable resistance from numerous Exchange Online administrators. In this post, I aim to examine the consequences of this cmdlet's removal and discuss viable alternatives and potential solutions.

Microsoft Outlook has long allowed you to process incoming and outgoing emails using rules. You will no doubt be familiar with them. They allow you to move emails to different subfolders, set categories, auto-cc additional people, or automatically delete emails. I have recently stopped using Outlook rules and have started using Power Automate instead. Although working with emails directly is limited in Power Automate, the platform allows for expansion beyond traditional rule sets by integrating with other Office applications and third-party services.
