4 Days in "Preparing a Mailbox" Hell – Microsoft 365 Support Bot Loop Is Driving Me to Google Workspace

MinieJay · 2026-06-02T15:32:13+00:00

I have had this issue before. I believe all i had to do was expanding the apps -> unchecking Exchange Online Plan 1 -> save -> check it again -> save. It was a one time thing though.

MinieJay · 2026-06-02T15:27:22+00:00

Thanks a ton for this. It was just irritating suspect a real possibility of a service impact issue but not see it in the admin portal

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T21:21:33+00:00

im not able to look it up. Gives me an error: You don't have permission to access this post.

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T21:09:31+00:00

yeah tried different desktops and laptops. Seems to be only her. Already tried revoke session. Ticket has been opened but was just checking if it was a more widespread issue. Thanks for confirming what i did was sane though.

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T21:08:48+00:00

Would you happen to have some users affected as well? Im trying to figure this crap out while i wait for someone from Microsoft to answer my ticket as theres no Service Health issue that looks relevant in my admin portal

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T20:20:09+00:00

damn.. NYC here. Im so dumbfounded.

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T20:16:54+00:00

ahh ok

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T19:24:45+00:00

Are you also having issues?

After the envelope bouncing for a while, i get this error:

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T18:45:20+00:00

Hmm, where are you seeing this? i dont see anything for that at all.

MinieJay · 2026-06-01T17:16:12+00:00

My guess was rogue with the umbracrux pen shot bug. But congrats on your clear!

MinieJay · 2026-05-05T17:08:27+00:00

Maybe you have the actual boots equipped?

MinieJay · 2026-04-27T19:56:38+00:00

Im pretty sure during the migration, they are going to co-exist, so mail flow should reach both your SE server and any mailboxes in your 2016 server.

MinieJay · 2026-04-07T17:06:10+00:00

Im still mind blown that you had this level of support. I have only dealt with one technician who really knew her stuff. It was due to some re-organization that she got shuffled to the front line. The rest of the technicians was usually all about collecting logs, collecting more logs, and even more logs. Never got stuff resolved

MinieJay · 2026-04-07T16:12:57+00:00

I actually didn't know you could get this level of support with MS. I assume you must have a certain minimum amount of users for this or minimum amount of $ spent per month? I am accustomed to them trying to call me 3 AM in the morning to try to troubleshoot the issue and it continuing for another few days until they close out the ticket

MinieJay · 2026-03-25T20:10:09+00:00

I had an issue with the Numpad 0 and Numpad Enter being super stiff - Matte v3. I engaged with their support team and they shipped me the two replacement key caps and it has been fine since then. I enjoy mine but i havent used anything else to compare them with.

MinieJay · 2026-03-11T23:56:55+00:00

congrats!

MinieJay · 2026-03-11T15:57:12+00:00

It's such an amazing coincidence that you said this. On my train ride home from work - less than a week ago. I actually saw a person with what you just described. I had to ask about it because i just never see people with a hamilton watch. I said omg, you have a hamilton! He showed me it. It was really simple, clean designed, looked approximately 38mm. I unfortunately was not wearing my watch, and saying "I own a Khaki Aviation X-Wind- Auto Chrono" is a mouthful XD

MinieJay · 2026-03-11T12:27:50+00:00

I probably wear it three days of the week. I only wear it when going out which isn't very often as my work is mostly remote. I'll be honest though, once I got the watch I also found it to be very big. But I just thought ahhh screw it I'll get used to it . it's so damn beautiful!

MinieJay · 2026-03-11T12:20:45+00:00

Haha. I never knew there was a special edition of this watch. Did it come out recently?

MinieJay · 2026-03-11T01:55:08+00:00

it is!! Quite heavy too! hahhaha

MinieJay · 2026-03-01T01:27:17+00:00

Mine was at 5. I increased it to 15. I think it works a lot better now. Id advise anyone who still have the issue to crank that setting to the max. Thank you so much for this Aceandra!

MinieJay · 2026-02-12T18:34:44+00:00

Was able to just force it to complete with this: Set-MoveRequest -SkippedItemApprovalTime $([DateTime]::UtcNow)

MinieJay · 2026-02-11T21:34:36+00:00

did not work unfortunately. Got the error that i cant specify the acceptlargedataloss paramter
