new Office 365 provision --- mail-enabled public folder could not accept external emails

new Office 365 provision --- mail-enabled public folder could not accept external emails

this is a cut-over migration

exchange 2003 to office 365 exchange  online

newly created public folder not getting external emails

bounced

the fix is to change the accepted domain from authoritative to internal relay ....

interesting ---- gotta remember that to do this kind of work for a living

another thing with the O365 public folder is that

the root mailbox is created in the portal

the root public folder is created in the portal

you better assign a owner of the whole pubic structure

all subfolders under that are created by the owner ( a designed owner)

To mail-enable a folder , you go back to the portal to do that
