Here is the problem:
Sharepoint was working fine on and before the 9th of December, 2022.
And by this, I mean and still want to be able to have use of the ability for the internal users of our Business Premium 365 accounts to send file or folder share notifications to external users. Where these share notification emails are from the sender's outlook account associated with their Sharepoint account, with the correct sender's name and email address.
Also, these emails were stored in the internal user's sent items folder.
Perfect!
UNTIL after the 9th of December 2022, something changed, and we have no idea what.
The change is that now the process still works, but the sender's email address has been changed to no-reply#sharepointonline.com.
And these share notification emails are no longer stored within the user's outlook sent items folder, these share notification emails now appear in the sender's inbox from SharePoint.
We are sharing SharePoint files and folders with our customers and we are now receiving a huge amount of calls asking where these notifications have gone. Although we have sent them. We have to explain to our customers that this change from SharePoint has meant that any share notification emails we send may now be in there spam or junk systems.
THIS IS QUITE UNACCEPTABLE - ESPECIALLY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
And please, please, please do not tell me that Microsoft sent us notifications in 2016 warning us that this would happen. It's 2022/2023 and it's only just happened!
This leads me to believe that this feature change is something temporary and or recent within SharePoint.
Can anyone shed some sensible light on this issue and give me some peace of mind that Microsoft is still not in the habit of changing things in live platforms and then hiding under their desks?
Help please, my sanity is waning!!!
Well, I never, almost a month later, Microsoft replied:
Thank you for your patience on this.
We advise that a fix for this has been recently rolled out and completed last night.
Please can you try replicating the issue again and let me know if the same behaviour occurs.
So they fixed it, and let me know - there is a first!!!
My apologies for wasting peoples time.

I receive emails from a couple of Azure DevOps environments, my company system and a suppliers system. I had rules for the email notifications to move them based on the From address, which was different. Now all the emails come from azuredevops#microsoft.com.
Does anyone know if there is any way to easily distinguish where the email has come from ?
Is it possible to change the From address used by DevOps? I don't believe it is possible to customise the body, and basing the filter on the body is too much maintenance
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to change the From address used by DevOps?
The answer is No. The notification from could not be modified by users.
But, I can get what you are suffering. While have the notification emails comes from several organizations, its too messy to know exactly where they come from.
Now, for build or release notification emails, you can create filter subject rules to distinguish them. Because in the subject of email which about build or release, it contains the info of organization name.
But, unfortunately, until now, the org info just displayed in build and release notification. And also you could not customize the email content of notification.
You can raise the demand to Microsoft Developer Community, follow and vote it.
When there are enough communities vote and add comments for this feedback, the product team member will take this feedback seriously.
I have found a work around in order to filter my emails, in case anyone else has the same issue.
The emails contain links to take you to the work item or other DevOps page that the email is related to. I've been able to create a filter based on the Url that the link is pointing to, so I'm looking for the specific DevOps URL in the Body of the message, as filing the email based on that. It seems to work for my requirements at least.
I have a website sending out email alerts when a story is posted. Customers subscribe to taxonomy terms to receive only the stories they are interested in. I'm fighting with a weird issue - some of our subscribers complain that they get duplicate emails, I've checked smtp logs and they are right. The problem has first happened with the Messaging and Notifications (after 4 years of stable work), at first only a few users were getting duplicates for some emails and in the end every user was getting every email twice. I assumed it was connected with those modules and replaced them with Subscriptions. Now the problem occurs again. I have two questions:
1) Has anyone got an idea where I should look? I'm really lost. I'm using Mandrill (mandrillapp.com) as SMTP server and used PHPMailer for connection in Drupal (just replaced it with SMTP, hope it helps, will know tomorrow). The website has been hosted with Omega8.cc since the beginning of the year, and the problem occured after this update: https://omega8.cc/boa-221-full-edition-305 but the tech support say it's not connected with my issue and they can't help.
2) I've looked at the subscriptions_queue table and see the sqid column, which is the only one that seems to be related to nodes - how do I find which sqid links to which node? I hope to run a filter on the table to remove duplicate entries if they are there.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm really lost
Thanks in advance
How do I turn off the Pending email warning?
In fact how do I turn off all pop-up reminders in CRM 2011 RU13?
To recreate.
Create an email and save it (direction must be Outgoing) . Wait a few days (If you know how to
trigger it earlier tell me). Check in IE that you get the pending
email message. Open the CRM in chrome...note that it fails Go back to
IE Activities -> emails -> pending emails and delete the emails there
Open the CRM in Chrome and rejoice.
I guess my current workaround would be a workflow that finds emails like this:
Direction Equals 'Outgoing' AND (Status Reason Equals 'Pending Send;Sending' AND Activity Status Equals 'Completed' OR Status Reason Equals 'Failed' AND Activity Status Equals 'Open')
and kills them which is really bad.
EDIT:
Yes, it is the latest version of chrome.
TO BE CLEAR
I want to turn the popup reminders off in CRM. I have no control over the way people configure their browsers. I should, however, be able to configure CRM but, as seems so often the case, I can't.
Popups and Dialogs break the web. Just look at this site (stackoverflow), plenty of notifications and ways of collecting user input without a sniff of a popup message/dialog.
People turn popup blockers on because they represent a security risk. So this, IMHO, is an awful "Feature".
EDIT 2
And even if you needed to add popups, why would you make them blocking? I assume this is why chrome hangs.
Try enabling pop-ups in Chrome for your CRM site. Worked for me.
You may be fixing the wrong problem.
"Pending send" emails tell you that something is wrong.
Saving a new email (a draft, if you like) does not cause this. A user or workflow or marketing campaign can create emails all day long and not send them, and you will not see this warning message (the emails simply appear as activities to be done in your "to-do" list)
An email is "pending send" only if you send en email from CRM 'from' a user configured to use Outlook for outgoing mail but not logged on to Outlook for a while, or via email router but that is mis-configured (eg no credentials for that user) or not running. Figure out why the emails are "pending" and fix this issue, then your Chrome problem will vanish.
For a couple of days now I've been searching for a solution that integrates ongoing work item communication over email into a specific work item's history.
For example once a ticket is created, if a specific TFS email account is included in email correspondence related to a specific ticket, some service would parse the TFS email account, read the email contents and attach the conversation to the work item. I've seen other ticketing systems support similar functionality.
The major problem I'm trying to solve here is to increase productivity by automatically keeping all tickets in sync with related conversations without user intervention.
Does anyone know of any commercial or open source products that can support this functionality?
I just implemented a cloud service using SendGrid that accepts emails at [workitemid]#mycloudservice.com and appends the email to the History of the work item. So if you forward an email to 1234#mycouldservice.com, the email date/subject/body is appended to the History of work item ID 1234.
Right now I have a lot of things hard-coded to my personal usage, but I'm thinking of making it generic/configurable for public usage. The big caveat is that the TFS server needs to be internet-visible (works great with Team Foundation Service). I'll update this answer when(if) I open it up for general usage. The code that handles the SendGrid POST is here if you're interested.
There is also the TeamCompanion Outlook add-in, that gives you a button in the ribbon to attach the current email to a work item. The last round I went with TeamCompanion I found it OK, but a bit buggy, and it may have slowed Outlook down (or that could have been psychological).
My company plainly meets the acquirements to enrol in Bizspark. Yet so far I have not been able to.
I first applied via a Networking partner but heard nothing back and then discovered the Networking partner I picked did not have contact details on their website so I re-applied with a different live ID directly to Microsoft and again did not receive a response apart from the initial acknowledgement.
Waited a few weeks and then tried again picking another Networking partner. They graciously responded with a link to enrol.
Now a moth later I am about to give up. I have a website (Although I dont yet need one as I have nothing to sell) and a working email address with the same domain. Do the Bizspark team notify people if they have been declined?
where are you located ? It took me more than a month here (Australia) to get approval from a networking partner. You should contact more than 1 partner (if accepted by any, let the others know that you already get an approval) as the first partner didnt reply me and I had to try the second one.
I dont think they will reply you if your application is declined.
