In this episode I’ll talk about an Outlook Addin from Microsoft that helps you to improve and optimize the detection rate for Fale/Positives.
For example, if a mail was classified as junk, you can report this mail as normal mail and it will be moved to your inbox. The same the other way round: If a Junk mail ends up in your inbox, you can report it as Junk or Phishing.

After some research in the web and reading several blog entries, it was clear: When using AAD Connect and synchronized accounts in Office 365, you have to install an on-premises Exchange Management server for changing some Exchange Online settings. Even you don’t have an on-premises Exchange server installed yet. Very disappointing and frustating. That’s why a customer decides to use cloud service: they wan’t have to install and maintain the system on-premises.
