Microsoft has introduced a feature that can keep users out of email-related hot water.
Typically, when a message in Microsoft 365 cannot be delivered due to a brief error, it is queued and retryed periodically until the message is sent or until it expires 24 hours later.
However, managers will now be able to customize the message’s expiration time to be less than a day, which can save the user’s bacon when 24 hours have passed to know if their message hasn’t been sent.
The news comes as Microsoft has big plans on the horizon related to the long-term of its email customers.
One Outlook, in the past called Monarch in its progression phase, aims to unify all of Microsoft’s disparate email installations in one place, with the Internet app as the foundation.
The task will include a single version of Outlook for Windows and Mac that will update the default Mail and Calendar apps in Windows 10.
The new product is available lately for Office Insiders Beta Channel users and lately it is only available to paid members.
According to a Microsoft blog (opens in a new tab), the new product will have a host of new online collaboration features, adding the ability to customize calendars and tag files in the cloud just as it would with usernames.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has also just hit users of its email services, adding the Office 365 and Microsoft 365 software suites, with price hikes.
The value increase was first announced through Microsoft 365 VICE PRESIDENT Jared Spataro last August in a blog post (opens in a new tab) and went into effect on March 15 after a series of delays.
The price hike touted as the “first really extensive price update” to Office 365 since its launch just over a decade ago.
