Brave New World – Office 365 oe.outlook.com

Are they ready for prime time? Not so sure. Signs of (bogus) bounces for destination e-mail addresses hosted at office 365. mxtoolbox gives a clue: mail.eo.outlook.com shows up in the e-mail routing for problematic destinations. There is a “de-list” e-mail address floating around out there…

Office 365 Enterprise, Sharepoint & Access

40 column limitation is lurking out there for sure. There’s also a 5,000 row limitation as well? Kiddy pool limitations folks.  40 columns?          5,000 rows? http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/90c24c11-7846-433b-b532-4e0739c66786/access-services-and-sharepoint-list-query-limits?forum=accessdev One more tech. reference – seems to confirm 40 row limit.
