Microsoft has an update on Exchange Online Basic Auth removal for Office 365 by Sayan Sen Back in 2022, Microsoft announced the retirement of Basic Authentication as it was moving to modern OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication. The reason was simple, to move away from such simple username-password authentication to more secure sign-ins. While Microsoft had previously planned to "permanently remove support for Basic authentication with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) in September 2025", the company has now updated this timeline, adding a final delay. Perhaps this was on the cards given that Microsoft recently extended Basic Auth support for High Volume Email to 2028. On the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, a new message has been posted that details the changes regarding SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) AUTH Client Submission. The message says: Thus, starting March 1, 2026, Exchange Online will begin phasing out Basic authentication for sending emails via SMTP AUTH. At first, fewer attempts will be blocked, but by April 30, 2026, this older method will be fully disabled. After that, any apps or devices that want to send email this way will need to use OAuth. The message further adds how admins can proceed with the changes in case OAuth is not supported: Users who have access to the M365 Admin Center can view the message under ID MC786329. -

Microsoft 365 Copilot Notebooks now integrated in OneNote on Windows by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that Enterprise customers with Microsoft 365 Copilot, SharePoint, or OneDrive licenses can now use Microsoft 365 Copilot Notebooks integrated directly with OneNote on Windows. Copilot Notebooks are AI-powered and bring together different resources such as Copilot Chat, files, notes, and links into a single space to make you more productive. The Redmond giant wants to make it easier for customers to gather content, understand complex topics, and create “smarter content” with Copilot Notebooks. This integration is squarely aimed at Enterprise customers, not Personal or Family subscribers. How Copilot Notebooks enhance productivity in OneNote When you open OneNote on Windows, you should see Copilot Notebooks in the left-hand sidebar, from here you can view or edit existing notebooks or you can create one by going to Home > Create Copilot Notebook or New notebook. During the creation of your new notebook, you can give it a name and add references such as OneNote pages, .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .pdf, or .loop files. This gives Copilot extra context to provide you with more refined answers. Once you have created a notebook and added your reference documents, you can use Copilot Notebooks to help you gather insights from your documents, draft summaries, and generate audio overviews. An important caveat to mention about these notebooks is that you can only add 20 files as references and only individual OneNote pages, as opposed to sections and notebooks, can be added. Microsoft could add support for these in the future, but you can’t add them yet. Another limitation right now is that some OneNote features aren’t functional within Copilot Notebooks, including tags, section groups, inking, templates, password protection, Immersive Reader, and offline support. Availability and what it means for enterprise users Microsoft 365 Copilot Notebooks in OneNote for Windows are available for Enterprise customers with an appropriate license (anyone with a Microsoft 365 Copilot, SharePoint, or OneDrive license) running OneNote Version 2504 (Build 18827.20128) or later. If you have any other feedback to give to Microsoft, you can give it via Help > Feedback. As an Insider preview, Microsoft will likely improve this before declaring it stable so let Microsoft know of any issues you have. Now that the feature is available as a preview, it’s the perfect time for IT admins and other decision-makers to evaluate the feature to see how it could benefit their wider organization. -
