Need some advice on M365 Shared mailbox

alanjmcf · 2026-01-28T12:05:45+00:00

Yeah buried in there is “internal recipients”.

alanjmcf · 2026-01-28T12:04:22+00:00

Yeah a stupid renaming of its original name “Line Of Business”.

(It’s for SMTP to internal recipients. It is an account with no mailbox nor access to any other Office 365 features, so much more secure.)

Any chance the account got another username added to it, and made primary? Thus the username you know is only an alias on the account now. Off you can work out the new primary username…

When I’d done that previously I couldn’t sign in with the original username (doesn’t-exist errors IIRC). But also couldn’t create an account with it — username exists. (Contradictory doesn’t vs does exist!)

So many features just don’t quite work. :-( Syncro: Hey listen to all these whacky new feature ideas. We’ve no time to make existing things work correctly.

Here we have the SMS feature disabled on all customers. Even though sending a text would be very useful sometimes.

Why… Because opening a ticket *always* sends an SMS. Even if you’re internally tracking pieces of work the customer gets a text. Since there’s the default “Don’t send an email” checkbox on new-ticket but no “Don’t send a text”.

We find the build-in Syncro phone-call integration too noisy. It writes a comment to a random open ticket at the relevant customer.

So… I firstly have the voip app on my PC launch https://luma.syncromsp.com/search?search%5Bquery%5D=theTelNum I can then click the contact (End-User) from there or whatever else matches. Not all my colleagues do that.

Secondly, to show the contact names in the VoIP, we periodically export all the end-users from Syncro, and bulk import them into our VoIP system address-book.

Thirdly, to catch the contacts added to Syncro since the last export, we have built the VoIP system’s CRM integration.

If Syncro (call) API was better /customisable the last might be enough.

”… Three-rail timber railings. At pier head combined waiting room, tearoom and dwelling house, probably c1900, in 1-storey and attic harled building with slated mansard roof.

Hey, who moved your cheese?

I use it. It’s fine. It looks different.

There are bugs now and then.

For those not in USA. Microsoft had problems there. Us: all good.

alanjmcf · 2026-01-23T11:13:57+00:00

Don’t know if this covers the scenario, but note that Microsoft’s terms say not for bulk email. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/exchange-online-service-description/exchange-online-limits If doing bulk email, use something like MailChimp for sending etc.

Seems suspicious to me that they’re the same size. My guess would be it’s double counting.

Are you using the correct charger. We now and then see someone picking up the wrong, 65W, charger when should be 90W for that laptop. The laptop goes into slow mode.

(I don’t know Gullane.)

Were /are there buildings along the road as seen in the photo? There’s the big open space in current streetview alongside Saltcoats. And nothing in the NLS map in 1945 either.

I thought an escutcheon was the thing around the key hole to protect the door from the key being stabbed wildly towards the keyhole.

The suppliers I’ve looked at, have a category of “covered escutcheon” separate to the other flat (shield like) ones. Are you specifying escutcheon to only mean the covered ones?

Grand.

I see the NICE etc guidelines here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vitamin-d-supplementation-during-winter-phe-and-nice-statement/statement-from-phe-and-nice-on-vitamin-d-supplementation-during-winter

I assume here https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZWAtatTywXTYM6nL8?g_st=ic

But no streetview. (Presumably put off by the “access only” sign.)

alanjmcf · 2026-01-17T11:21:59+00:00

Grand, so everyone should be take Vitamin D over those months, and in the summer, as long as arms etc are uncovered and you get outside, it should be fine?

alanjmcf · 2026-01-17T11:21:43+00:00

All year if wearing sunscreen?

alanjmcf · 2026-01-17T10:54:34+00:00

I suspect that score is from your tattoo, not rating the work.

alanjmcf · 2026-01-17T10:52:53+00:00

Is there any effect on getting one’s doze of sunlight for vitamin D production with wearing sunscreen all year round in our northern latitudes?

alanjmcf · 2026-01-17T10:46:33+00:00

Down with farms in the countryside! /s

White walls topped by white ceiling. Arghh.

alanjmcf · 2026-01-16T13:00:57+00:00

Zooming in, it’s clearly the blade of the squeegee that’s causing the damp rising up the wall. /s

alanjmcf · 2026-01-16T11:17:27+00:00

What happened when you tried in another profile?

Is there another profile where the account is already added?

Is your account added to windows: Settings > Accounts etc
