Top office-365 frequently asked interview questions
How can a user send email as the assigned group's shared email account?
More detail:
Our company has an office365.com account.
User someone@company.com
is a member of a group with info@company.com
shared mailbox.
But someone@company.com
cannot send email as info@company.com
. In fact, there is only the main email address someone@company.com
in the From combo-box of the user.

I have created folders in Office 365's Outlook, but cannot find how to rename them.
When I right-click or control-click a folder's name, here are the options that are displayed (these are folders I have created):

Edit: After Montag’s comment, I am adding a screenshot to show that the folders I click on are folders I created, not the default folders :

How do I configure a personal Gmail account to act as the client for my company provided O365 email account? Would it simply be a matter of setting up SMTP / IMAP, or is it more complicated that that (or even possible)?

I need to create a list of email addresses of those I've been emailing and who have been emailing me via my office 365 email account.
If it were a hundred or so people then I'd just do it by hand (make a contact for each one, then export the contact list), but I have thousands of people I've been in contact with that I need to record. I do have access to the admin panel on office 365 if needed.
What is the easiest method for me to extract a list of email addresses from my email itself, including email recipients for emails I've sent, and email senders for emails I've received?

I asked this question on Superuser: Does Office365 have application passwords like Google does?
While I had my question answered about Office 365 Personal (I found that application passwords are available, and require 2-factor authentication enabled), I also learned that Office 365 for Businesses is apparently a different beast.
I haven't been able to find the correct options to enable app passwords in Office 365 for Businesses.
Given administrator permissions, how can I enable application passwords for Exchange/Office 365 for Businesses?
Reason: I'm creating my own application that uses SMTP to process emails in my business email account. Given that I don't trust anyone to program something perfectly, including myself, I'd rather not include my account password if I can instead use a password unique to that service.

A instructor in our community college is trying to create a survey using Office 365. The link https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Surveys-in-Excel-hosted-online-5fafd054-19f8-474c-97ec-b606fcda0ff9 explains the steps. When the instructor tried that, he got a message "Sorry, you can’t create surveys here".
Our server admin for Office 365 feels, to make it work, we need to turn on "Allow both external users who accept sharing invitations and anonymous guest links" on both Tenant and Site Collection Levels.
He feels the potential risk is that everyone can use OneDrive Excel Survey to create and share files and folders to external users and the external users then can access our Office 365 at some level.
Is there a way to stop external users from accessing our Office 365 in any level?
Even if external users are sent such surveys, to what level can they access Office 365? Is it risky enough to not to use Excel surveys?
If it is risky and such Excel surveys should be avoided, are there any other methods using Office 365 which do not have any risk?
Is the risk reduced or eliminated if the people to whom Excel surveys are sent are students in our community college?

I have changed my mail settings to plain text for the Outlook webapp. I also added a signature with the delimiter --
:
--
Philipp Kretzschmar
Software Developer
Yet whenever I send mails to my private account via the office365 webapp, the signature is not showing as a signature but as part of the email message body, making the mail way too verbose and I am unsure where I go wrong.
(Sending plain text with mail correct marked signature was working fine via the mutt client, yet it doesn't work via the web frontend.)
How to properly set up a valid plain text email signature in Office365?

I've enabled external sharing in the Office365 administrative area. Users can share their own calendars with external users, which simply emails them a generic iCal URL that anyone with the link can use. I'd like to generate one of these for a group calendar. The only way I've been able to get remotely close to this is to generate a URL that utilizes the API like so:
https://user:password@outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/users/groupname@example.com/calendarview
Obviously this requires the credentials, which is unacceptable in my use case.
Is this possible? If not, I'll have to setup a proxy.

I recently purchased Office 365, and it came with Outlook 2016. I use to use Outlook on the internet to set up recurring appointments. Reminder emails would be sent to the attendees a day before the appointment. It would do this for every occurrence.
I've been trying to figure out how to do that with Outlook 2016, but with no luck. I tried using the information from this link superuser.com/scheduled-and-recurring-email-in-outlook, but it only sent an email for the first occurrence. It didn't send another one the next day.
How can I set up a reminder that gets sent to a certain email address every time it occurs?

When I try to select several emails in Outlook within Office 365, here is what happens:
I can select 9 emails (or 13 emails if I disable the preview text in the preferences) if I click on the first one displayed and then shift-click the last one displayed.
But if I select one, then scroll to the top of the list and then shift-click, nothing happens.
Is it possible to select more emails in one go than the number of emails displayed on the screen?

I only have access to the web interface.
How do I count the number of contacts for a user? I have full admin access as well as access to the account in question.
- In Firefox, Ctrl+A highlights the whole page. Holding shift and keying up/down doesn't work.
- In Internet Explorer, Ctrl+A does nothing. Holding shift and keying up/down performs a nice scroll, but does not highlight anything.
I have looked at the People tab and done a search for the first two digits of the number of contacts. (Searched for 35 when the expected contacts are 3530)

I use Office for work. Frequently, I will get a massive amount of work emails in my mailbox.

A regular Monday morning. This includes 0 unwanted emails, only work.
I would love to know if there is a way for me to automate the sorting of these emails into folders, based on text elements in the subject.
Ideally, these emails would sort themselves out and I would be able to retrieve them when needed from the folders they're in or with a search.

When I click the checkbox to select all the emails, it selects all the emails in my view.

Which means that if I have 900 emails in my inbox, and tick the checkbox, it will select… 9 emails. I would therefore have to reproduce the action 100 times to select them all and perform an action on all my emails.
The behavior is the same with search results when searching strings within an email.
This behavior of the app makes it nearly impossible, or at least very difficult and tedious for me to organize my emails (because, yes, I do get over 900 emails very quickly that I need to sort).
Is it possible to select all the emails in the inbox or all the emails in a search results with one click?

With Office 365 set to forward emails to Google Apps (i.e. Gmail), the forwarded messages are going to spam because according to the Gmail interface, they have "a from address in example.com but has failed example.com's required tests for authentication."
Viewing the source of the message it says
dmarc=fail (p=REJECT dis=NONE) header.from=example.com
Is there some way to cause this not to happen?
