Auto-Archiving for Exchange Online

There’s a new feature in Exchange Online that automatically archives the oldest items in your mailbox after it reaches 96% of its quota. This goes hand in hand with the current time-based archiving and avoids any email disruption that could be caused by hitting mailbox limits due to big attachments or large volumes of AI-generated content. Exchange Online Plan 1 and Plan 2 will continue to offer a 50 GB and 100 GB archive mailbox respectively. This feature is currently in private preview for selected customers, will be in public preview from 15 November, 2025, and generally available in January 2026.

Microsoft Scheduler

Microsoft announce the availability of Scheduler, a new Microsoft 365 service to make scheduling meetings easier and faster. Users can now ask Cortana in their own words to schedule a meeting whether that’s with internal attendees, external people, or a mixture of both. Meeting organizers need to be licensed with a Scheduler licence which is priced at $10 per user per month and requires one of a whole host of qualifying licences – essentially Exchange Online Plan 1 or any plan which includes it.
