- The Microsoft 365 button can be installed by individuals or via the Powershell Exchange Console for specific groups. This installs the button on a per-user/account basis, not on a per-machine basis.
- The Interface/API does not compare between architectures.
- The original subject is included automatically because the mechanism used to report the message is a 'forward' instead of an attachment.
- For older architectures (like Exchange 2013 On-Premises), the message will only stay on the screen momentarily.
- Button can be configured to forward emails to an inbox for viewing.
- Hybrid implementations of Exchange (e.g., Exchange on-premise combined with Microsoft 365 acting as a front end) are not supported and might not work with the Microsoft Exchange button.
