Sharepoint Online Emails Delayed or Missing

Recently as of (3/20) Emails generated by Sharepoint Workflows have been erratic. Sometimes the emails show up right away, other times the emails are delayed, or simply never some at all. We use Office 365 for our mail and Sharepoint Online. The messages that
are missing do not show up in mail flow as being blocked. The issue started out of the blue with no changes made the the workflows. 
I can create and item, have the workflow run, and emails are sent without issue. I can then do another item in the exact same way, and the emails may or may not come. (Approval workflow). The workflow does not encounter any errors. 
Has anyone else been having this issue? I find it hard to believe this is and issue only we are encountering, given the problem seems to be on the Sharepoint Online side.
Thanks!

We are having the same issue. InfoPath forms emails are at times delayed by several hours or more. It is not consistent but it happens enough to raise concern. I am still searching for the answer and called support but could not duplicate it during
the support call.

    How can I send an email from Sharepoint Online using sandbox solution?
    If possible I do not want to use workflow.
    Is It possible to do it without using workflow?

    hello Steven Andrews,
    when any user sends a message using contact us page in SharePoint online.
    1. We are inserting item in Contact Us List . - This is working fine
    for anonymous users also. We have used Office365 anonymous codeplex wsp and it is working fine. Anonymous user is able to insert new record in the Contact Us List.
    2. Once, new record is inserted in Contact Us list, we want to fire email notifying thanks to the user on his email id as well as to our company x person for notification of new inquiry. 
    We tried using Workflow having impersonation step for  anonymous user but it is not working for Anonymous users. Workflow is able to sent the email if someone logged into system but not working for Anonymous user although workflow is getting started
    but not able to send email although used Imperonsation step.
    We are stuck into implementing second step.

  • SharePoint Online custom alert emails

    How can I change the alert email that SharePoint online (part of Office 365) send out.  I've seen alot of reference to AlertTemplate.xml but that is if you have SP installed on a local server.
    I would like to add the check in comments to the alert email.

    Hi Scott,
    The Alerttemplates.xml file is located at: Local_Drive\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\XML directory on On-Premise SharePoint local server, so we can customize the alert template file on local server with server
    administration permission per this
    article.
    But in Office365 SharePoint Online, if you wan to customize the alert template you need to customize the Alerttemplates.xml under 14 folder on Online server, but it is not permitted, check this article
    you also have seen.
    You can also post this question related SharePoint Online in dedicated Office365 SharePoint Online forum, you can get a better assistance there,

  • Email through Event receiver in SharePoint Online

    Hi,
    I am creating an event receiver for custom list which will send email to users in sharepoint online.
    I am using the following code to send email through event receivers in sharepoint.
                MailMessage mMailMessage = new MailMessage();
                mMailMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
                mMailMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]));
                mMailMessage.Subject = "subject1";
                mMailMessage.Body = "just a body";
                mMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
                SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.office365.com", 587)
                    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "****"),
                    EnableSsl = true,
                   UseDefaultCredentials = false,
              client.Send(mMailMessage);
    NOTE: I am using MailMessage() because it is in the sandbox solution.
    However I am facing the following error :
    Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpPermission, System, Version=4.0.0.0,
    Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
    It may be because I am trying to use SMTP server of sharepoint Online,However I am not able to connect it.
    Can anybody help me and can advice how to send email programmatically from sharePoint online ?
    Thanks
    Jhalak

    In Office 365, there's no direct way to send an email programmatically because the SPUtility.SendEmail
    Method isn't available in sandboxed solutions. The workaround is to use the Send an Email action in a list workflow.

  • SharePoint Online and POP email

    I have a client who is interested in using SharePoint Online, but they are using pop email hosted by Rackspace. Can someone tell me if this will cause any issues with SharePoint, is there any limitation in SharePoint functionality when doing this? Would
    email enable workflows still work with POP accounts.  Also are there any issues with SSO and Federation with AD using SharePoint Online?
    Thank you for the help.
    Thanks in advance for your time. Steven

    Hi,
    The email address for users when used in a workflow is the email address set in SharePoint Admins User Profiles in Office 365. The field is called Work Email. This is automatically populated with the primary SMTP address of the user and mail is sent to it
    if licensed for Exchange Online. Depending on the workflow, you should be able to send mail to external users, because the workflow when triggered will fall dependant on the permission of the user initiating the workflow.
    No, there are no real issues with SSO (ADFS 2) or DirSync and SP Online... Just be sure to be mindful of deleting and recreating users, or stopping and starting sync because you could run into permissions issues within Sharepoint Online due to user guid
    conflicts.

  • Modify email invitation/alert content in sharepoint online

    Hi, its a known bug that we can't modify the email notification messages thats being sent from sharepoint online site to the users. Just wanted to make sure microsoft has not yet make any update for this. ? or any other alternate / hack for this? Basically
    i want to send a custom email when people 'share' something in my office365 site. 
    Thanks, Saravanan PRS

    Yammer should be available with your O365 subscription today, but you would have to switch to it within the SharePoint Online tenant settings.
    That said, end users can subscribe to Yammer groups, or specific tags, or specific users.

  • Send a link via email that will start a workflow on a sharepoint online list

    I am trying to send a hyperlink in an email that will start a workflow on a sharepoint online list. I am unable to use javascript because the end-user will be clicking this link on their mobile device. I have found many articles that get me almost there
    but none of them will actually start the workflow.
    here is one that is very close to what i am looking to do. http://sharepointerz.blogspot.com/2012/05/run-workflow-from-hyperlink-in.html
    Is it possible to start a workflow using a URL with out using javascript?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks 

    you can use ECMA script to Start the workflow.  However you need to redirect to a sharepoint page and there on Load you can do this. Directly from Email I don't know.
    You can use http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/607127/Using-SharePoint-Workflow-Services-JS-API
    SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager
    From other blog http://www.vrdmn.com/2014/08/start-sharepoint-2013-workflows-with.html

  • Email files to SharePoint Online - Is it finally happening?

    I know this question gets asked every few months but I have never asked and a person stated to me yesterday it is now possible to email to Sharepoint Online.
    Is it true and if it is true were can I find the info on it?

    Mail to a site can not really be achieved.
    However, you can create a Site Mailbox. (a webbased mailbox attached to a SharePoint site.)

  • Is possible to site mailbox email address with different domains in sharepoint online - office 365

    Can I set site mailbox email address with different domains in sharepoint online - office 365?
    For eg I have two dns link with office 365 account - abc.com, xyz.com
    So can i set site mailbox email according  using powershell like follwoing
    New-SiteMailbox –DisplayName "test" -Name "[email protected]" –SharePointUrl $NewlyCreatedsiteurl
    New-SiteMailbox –DisplayName "test" -Name "[email protected]" –SharePointUrl $NewlyCreatedsiteurl

    Hi Biraj,
    From your description, you would like site mailbox to have two email address.
    Since the issue is related to SharePoint online and Exchange online, I'd recommend you contact online support engineer for sufficient resource and more assistance. For your convenience:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154.aspx
    In addition, I find some information that might be relevant for your reference:

    Can I rename a site mailbox?            
    The display name of a site mailbox is the SharePoint team site display name. If you change the display name of the site in SharePoint, the display name also changes in Outlook. However, the site email address won’t be changed.

  • Is Office Home and Business 2013 fully compatible with Sharepoint Online (Office 365)?

    My client recently upgraded 3 Windows 7 PCs (2-32 & 1-64-bit OS) from Office 2007 32-bit (which was actually working fine against Exchange/SharePoint Online) to Office Home and Business 2013 (32-bit)
    Now, for all 3 PCs, while Office 2013 Word/Excel can open, check out/in, and save SharePoint Online files, there is ALWAYS a 2 minute delay in closing the file which is apparently waiting for the Local Security Authority call to return. This seems
    to indicate an issue related to SharePoint security on the client side.
      Problem Event Name: AppHangXProcB1
      Application Name:        
    WINWORD.EXE
      Application Version:    
    15.0.4657.1000
      Waiting on Application Name: 
    lsass.exe:lsasspirpc
    This is the Local Security Authority Security Support Provider Interface Remote Procedure Call (LSA SSPI RPC)
    My client has 66 licenses for SharePoint Online (Plan 2) and 73 Exchange Online (Plan 1) "stand alone" services. The same failure is happening on 3 Win 7 PCs. All of which I've carefully reviewed against the MS Office trouble shooting guides (start
    Windows OS w/out non-MS services, Word/Excel safe mode w/out add-ons, O365 readiness checks, Office repair, etc.). We have PCs running Win 7 (32 & 64-bit) w/Office 365 ProPlus & Office Professional Plus 2013 that work fine. it's JUST these 3 Win 7
    PCs that were upgraded from Office 2007 to Office Home and Business 2013 that have the 2 min. SharePoint file close time.
    Can you please confirm that Office Home and Business 2013 is compatible w/SharePoint Online
    at least for Excel and Word?
    The "slow close" problem can be demonstrated on multiple site collections/sub sites and w/Excel & Word docs in doc libs and lists
    After many hours capturing information, following the MS Office trouble shooting guides, and repairing the Office install, I've had no luck in resolving this.While Word/Excel will eventually close SharePoint Online files after about
    2 minutes, this is certainly unacceptable. Otherwise, locally stored files close normally and new files were created by the Office 2013 Excel/Word for this testing.
    Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.  

    Hi raygabe,
    I couldn't find the document mentioned there is any compatibility between Office365 SharePoint online and Office Home and Business 2013 version, I would recommend that you check if the issue could be reproduced on other Win7 machines installed with Office
    Home and Business 2013 installed directly instead of upgrading from Office2007, see if issue is related to Office application upgrade.
    I also recommend that you post this issue on our dedicated Office365 SharePoint online forum and Office 2013 forum for a better assistance with more experts regarding this issue from the following links.
