Microsoft Exchange and Outlook email are among the most important Microsoft 365 services for organizations. Microsoft 365 is a popular set of services and online applications.
In addition, there are some enhanced security controls thrown in there as well, so consider looking at enabling rights management service to be sure you get the most for your money.Īs for OWA - that's just the way the interface works at present, there are no settings you can change to modify this behavior.Īs of Microsoft is rolling out the ability to view Archives and manage retention tags (personal) in Outlook Business Premium.By Michael Bose A Guide on How to Find Old Emails in Microsoft 365
If you need mail, skype, etc you should be looking at the E3 SKU which contains the same features as business premium, but also the pro plus Office SKU. However, it only includes the office client, and onedrive for business (which comes with SharePoint online subscription). Office Pro Plus has the Outlook version you need. There are some subscriptions that can't be activated in the same tenant, but usually, it's just a configuration thing they can sort out on the back end. I'm not sure what you are seeing, but if you can't purchase the pro plus SKU thru your tenant I would contact Microsoft. Office Pro Plus is just a different packaging of services from the enterprise tier.
Sorry for such a long question, and thanks in advance for any help.
Is this the only way to do it? Is there a special trick to searching across all of my mail items, regardless of where they are located within Office 365? I've been told that the e-discovery tool would be able to search all of a user’s email, regardless of archiving or not. Is there not a way to search both? How about simply joining the results from a search of each? This really doesn’t make sense to me.
When searching the in-place archive in OWA, the UI forces you to choose between your "regular" mailbox and the in-place archive. When searching within OWA, it’s not possible to search within BOTH the primary mailbox and the In-Place Archive. Therefore, I looked into switching to the ProPlus Plan, but the site will not allow me to do so.ĭoes this mean that Pro Plus is for people that have there own exchange server? Does it also mean that the cheapest plan with support for In-Place Archiving in both OWA and Outlook is Enterprise E3? Other versions of Outlook will not display the archive folders even though they may be present and enabled. The in-place archive folders are only visible with the Outlook version in the Professional Plus product. Apparently you must have the Professional Plus version if want to see the in-place archive folder in BOTH OWA AND Outlook: I'm still waiting for it to appear two months later.Īfter some research, it looks like my plan, Office 365 Business Premium only supports viewing the in-place archive folder in OWA.
The MS tech that assisted with onboarding stated that the folder would take about a week for the folder to appear in outlook after enabling the feature in the admin panel.
The “In-Place Archive” folder is not visible within my local installation of Outlook 2016. I have a few nagging issues, but the one that nobody at Microsoft seems to be able to help me with is In-Place Archiving:Ĭan't view the "In-Place Archive” folder within Outlook 2016: I have been evaluating Office 365 for several months and have been impressed for the most part (especially with Azure AD integration).
