apparently office 365 thinks an email from noreply@email.teams.microsoft.com with the subject line "You have been added to a team in Microsoft Teams" is spam. thanks for looking out, microsoft.

ever since we moved to office365, mail from important contacts in my contact list goes straight to spam lol

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
My favorite thing about Office 365 is that there is no path to move Office 2013 to the 365 compatible version, all you can do is a uninstall/install.

And the Office 365 offline install is janky as gently caress.

by far the worst part of being an email janitor is getting people to use a secure mail portal. someone gets an email with a username and a password in it, and a second email with the link to the secure portal, and they lose their loving minds. we're on mimecast now but office 365's was worse because 1) it makes you sign up for a microsoft account at that email address, which, lol 2) the link to their secure portal was inside an html attachment instead of the body of the email for some goddamn reason

if you register an email address with microsoft as a "microsoft account", it's considered a "personal account", but can be used for things like xbox live, VLSC, personal office 365 suite subscriptions, etc.

normally, if an address is part of an office 365 hosted domain, it won't allow you to do this, as the address is considered a "work or school" account, and is used to sign into whatever office 365 plan you have.

if you had an address on a privately hosted domain that you registered as a microsoft account and used for services, then migrated that domain to office 365, you're hosed. they are two completely separate systems that cannot be combined and any service that can accept credentials from both personal and work accounts (onedrive, office, etc.) will poo poo itself inside out in random ways

because microsoft has been pushing the microsoft account as a single auth credential for all their services for over a decade, this happens a lot

onedrive or office prompts you whether you are entering in a work/school or a microsoft account, so, no. you can totally have a microsoft account and a work/school account with the same email address.

and no, it will still totally poo poo itself if you have relevant service for both, including putting the app or browser into a redirect loop that repeatedly loads the authentication page

or if you have a personal office 365 suit sub tied to an account on a business office 365 plan that doesn't include office software, you can never again activate office

i have seen this poo poo break in every way imaginable, and some which appear to be impossible. that prompt that asks you work or personal account was introduced to try and address how hosed up the system is and a significant amount of the time, it fails

ideally those would be two separate, distinct accounts but it sounds like you're trying to consolidate them

i'm not trying to do anything, these are just scenarios i've seen due to people creating a microsoft account with their work email address at any time in the past decade, then moving the work domain to office 365 infrastructure

it fucks poo poo up bad. and it's hilarious.

keep in mind for a year or two after office 365 launched, there wasn't a work/school or personal account choice, poo poo just broke. now it just mostly breaks. they didn't plan for this at all

that happened to me for a while on the company owa portal. after a mandated password change owa took the previous password, but everything else (outlook proper, the network, lob apps) took the current password. it made me really nervous so i changed my password which put everything in sync again.

i closed my microsoft account that i had from msn messenger back in the 90s around 2011. i say around b/c at the time you had to find some secret link to delete a microsoft account and wait 500 days before it actually closed the account but it felt so good once it was done

the best part is now if anyone asks me to use something needing a microsoft account i think back about how awful it felt to have one and how much trouble it was to shed that theres no way id ever create one

having a ms account is a sign youve made terrible life decisions

im no fan of ms or their online services, but at the same time i've never "felt awful" about having an account there.

now that i think about it, i don't know if i've ever "felt" any emotion tied to essentially a loyalty card account for a company. that seems like a red flag. you may need help.
