Simplifying Exchange Online management

While Exchange Online serves as the backbone of communication for most organizations that have moved to the cloud, the Microsoft 365 admin center lacks a few essential Exchange Online management options. Most of the routine mailbox administration tasks are either missing or can only be carried out for one mailbox at a time. Filling in the management gaps with PowerShell scripts only makes things more complex, error prone, and time consuming.

M365 Manager Plus is a complete solution for Exchange Online management that allows you to manage user mailboxes, shared mailboxes, public folders, and contacts in bulk with just a few clicks. That’s right! You can configure mailbox permission changes, size restrictions, auto reply configurations, clutter settings, audit settings, and more for multiple mailboxes at the same time, simply by importing CSV files.

Exchange Online user mailbox management

M365 Manager Plus has several features to help you manage user mailboxes in your Exchange Online environment easily.

Enable/disable mailboxes in bulk: Simply import a list of mailboxes from a CSV file or enter mailbox names directly to enable or disable mailboxes.

Modify SMTP addresses: Easily add or modify users' primary SMTP addresses and proxy addresses and ensure they all map to the correct mailboxes.

Set mailbox features: Determine how users access mailboxes by enabling or disabling mailbox features, including IMAP, MAPI, POP, EWS, OWA, and OWA for devices, for a single mailbox or a group of mailboxes.

Restrict mailbox sizes: Control the size of email messages that a user can send and receive.

Convert mailboxes: Convert multiple user mailboxes into shared mailboxes and vice versa.

Configure MailTip: Enable MailTip for users and configure MailtTip messages.

Enable/disable archive mailboxes: Enable or disable archive mailboxes in bulk.

Exchange Online mailbox security management

Managing mailbox security is extremely vital in light of tougher compliance standards and the need to protect confidential information. M365 Manager Plus lets you easily configure various security-related mailbox settings.

Mailbox audit settings: Enable or disable mailbox audit logging to track mailbox access by mailbox owners, delegates, and administrators. Specify which actions (create, delete, send as, etc.) need to be audited. Define custom audit log age limits and retain audit data for as long as needed, unlike the native option which only stores audit logs for 180 days.

Set mailbox permissions: Secure users' mailboxes by modifying other users' access permissions (full access, read only, etc.).

Activate Litigation Hold: Preserve all mailbox content, including deleted items and original versions of modified items, by putting mailboxes on Litigation Hold. Use M365 Manager Plus to define Litigation Hold owners and place mailboxes on Litigation Hold indefinitely.

Edit mailbox delegation settings: Add or remove the delegation permissions a user has over other mailboxes and modify the permission type as needed.
