How to Configure an Office 365 Exchange Online Service Account and Import Historical Data

  • Last updated on

An Office 365 Exchange Online service account provides Exchange Server directory permissions to grant the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service read access to all mailboxes.

Requirements

If this is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) account, refer to this article Azure MFA Requirements for Microsoft CSPs to ensure the correct configuration is set.

Microsoft Exchange Online

Microsoft Exchange Online message throttling policies set bandwidth limits and restrict the number of processed messages. Throttling is enabled by default in Microsoft Exchange Online. Currently you cannot set policies to disable throttling in Exchange Online; for details, refer to the Microsoft Outlook dev blog. Barracuda is working on a solution to provide this option in the future.

To import archive mailbox/personal archives, click Advanced Options during configuration, and select Process Personal Archives :
