Since some time some folder names in my mailbox have been “wrong” in Outlook. What do I mean by wrong? Well, they had names like “Junk-E-Mail1” and “RSS-Feeds1” and I could not rename or delete them (because these are “default folders”). Also I had a mix of english and german folder names, because I had once a german mailbox, then this was migrated to Office365 and then I used to switch between german and english versions of Outlook. ...

Delegate365 version 3.7 brings a bunch of new features! Again, this version is a major milestone for our Office365 Add-On product. First of all, the management of all lists has been improved. We now use a Side Panel for all options for the selected objects which eases the usage. With that there are new bulk operations available. Some features have been improved and changed as well. See the details here. ...

Shortly we launched Delegate365 version 3.6. There were some changes and more features added. In the administration menu the modules for assigning and unassigning have been combined, Administrators now can set their default values for creating users and the support address is now configurable. Administration: Assign: The assign module is used to set the OU for users, groups, contacts, etc. Since we had many single modules for assigning objects to an OU… …we decided to unite them into one new module “assign” which reduces the modules list in the administration menu (see also here). Now there’s the selectable region and the assign-actions below. You can open the corresponding group to select the objects and then choose the OU for the assignment. As before each object in D365 belongs to one OU (see also virtual OU’s for multiple management here - Important security change in group membership selections:). With the new module it’s easy to select (unassigned) users, distribution groups, security groups, contacts, shared mailboxes and rooms to assign them to a specific OU. Once that is done the items show up in the corresponding lists for the scope admins to manage. ...
