Remove a former employee

(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/admin-overview/sign-up-for-office-365?view=o365-worldwide) 

Important

Although we've numbered the steps in this solution and you don't have to complete the solution using the exact order, we do recommend doing the steps this way.

---

Step	Why do this
Step 1 - Prevent a former employee from logging in and block access to Microsoft 365 services	This blocks your former employee from logging in to Microsoft 365 and prevents the person from accessing Microsoft 365 services.
Step 2 - Save the contents of a former employee's mailbox	This is useful for the person who is going to take over the employee's work, or if there is litigation.
Step 3 - Wipe and block a former employee's mobile device	Removes your business data from the phone or tablet.
Step 4 - Forward a former employee's email to another employee or convert to a shared mailbox	This lets you keep the former employee's email address active. If you have customers or partners still sending email to the former employee's address, this gets them to the person taking over the work.
Step 5 - Give another employee access to OneDrive and Outlook data	If you only remove a user's license but don't delete the account, the content in the user's OneDrive will remain accessible to you even after 30 days. Before you delete the account, you should give access of their OneDrive and Outlook to another user. After you delete an employee's account, the content in their OneDrive and Outlook is retained for 30 days. During that 30 days, however, you can restore the user's account, and gain access to their content. If you restore the user's account, the OneDrive and Outlook content will remain accessible to you even after 30 days.
Step 6 - Remove and delete the Microsoft 365 license from a former employee	When you remove a license, you can assign it to someone else. Or, you can delete the license so you don't pay for it until you hire another person. When you remove or delete a license, the user's old email, contacts, and calendar are retained for 30 days, then permanently deleted. If you remove or delete a license but don't delete the account, the content in the user's OneDrive will remain accessible to you even after 30 days.
Step 7 - Delete a former employee's user account	This removes the account from your admin center. Keeps things clean. Emails to the former employee's user account will not be received.

Send a schedule recurring email in Outlook

How to send a schedule recurring email in Outlook?

by JCaceres-FGRlawon Apr 10, 2015 at 8:51am

In Microsoft Outlook, you can easily send a schedule recurring appointment, meeting or task to others. But if you just want to send a schedule recurring email without any appointment, meeting or task, how can you do? Unfortunately, Outlook provides no feature for sending schedule recurring email, but in our tutorial, we will show you how to send a schedule recurring email with or without attachments in Outlook.

5 Steps total

Step 1: Create a new appointment

1. Please navigate to the Calendar view by clicking Calendar in the Navigation Pane, and then create a new appointment by clicking New Appointment under Home tab.
2.. In the Appointment dialog under Appointment tab. You need to:

A: Type in the Subject
B: Enter the recipients’ email addresses in the Location (email must be enclosed between "<>" and separated by ";")
C: Configure the Start time and the End time
D: Select the reminder under the Reminder drop-down list.
If you choose 15 minutes, it means it will remind you 15 minutes early when the email is sent.
E: Compose your Appointment body.

Note: The Appointment Subject will become the recurring email subject; and the Appointment body will become the recurring email body when the recipients received the email.

Step 2: Create a new category

Now you need to create a new category named “Send Schedule Recurring Email” as follows:

1. In the Appointment dialog, please click Categorize > All Categories in the Tags group under Appointment tab.
2. When the Color Categories dialog popping up, please click New button. In the Add New Category dialog, type “Recurring Email” in the Name field; and then choose a color in the Color drop-down list. Then click OK.
3. Then you will see the “Recurring Email” category is listed out, please check the box, and then click OK button.

Step 3: Set the Recurrence

Now, it is time to set the recurrence for the appointment.

1. Click Recurrence in the Options group under Appointment tab.
2. In the Appointment Recurrence dialog, configure your Recurrence pattern. If you need an end time, please configure it under Range of recurrence. And then click OK.
3. When it returns to the Appointment dialog, please click Save & Close button.

Step 4: Use the VBA code for sending the Schedule Recurring Email

1. Please press Alt + F11 to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications dialog.
2. Double click on Project1 > Microsoft Outlook Object > ThisOutlookSession in the left pane.
3. Copy and paste the following VBA code (below) to the VBA editor. And then click Save button.

Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim objMsg As MailItem
Dim objApp As AppointmentItem
Dim Att As Attachment
Dim tmpFolder As String
Dim filePath As String
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)

If Item.MessageClass <> "IPM.Appointment" Then
Exit Sub
End If

If Item.Categories <> "Recurring Email" Then
Exit Sub
End If

tmpFolder = Environ("TEMP")

For Each Att In Item.Attachments
filePath = tmpFolder & "\" & Att.FileName
Att.SaveAsFile (filePath)
objMsg.Attachments.Add filePath
Kill filePath
Next Att

objMsg.To = Item.Location
objMsg.Subject = Item.Subject
objMsg.Body = Item.Body
objMsg.Send
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub

Step 5: Enable Macros

You must enable the Outlook macros.

Step 1: Click the File > Options.
Step 2: In the Outlook Options dialog box, click the Trust Center in the left bar.
Step 3: Click the Trust Center Settings button.
Step 4: In the Trust Center dialog box, click the Macro Settings in the left bar.
Step 5: In the Macro Settings section:
To enable all macros, please check the Enable all macros (not recommended; potentially dangerous code can run) option.
To disable all macros in your Microsoft Outlook, please uncheck the Enable all macros (not recommended; potentially dangerous code can run) option.

Step 6: Click OK buttons in each dialog box.
Step 7: Restart your Microsoft Outlook 2010 or 2013 to activate it.

When the Reminder popping up, the email will be automatically sent to the recipients which you have typed in the Location field in the first part. Then click Dismiss in the Reminder dialog. And the email will be sent recurring every day in this time.
