This means that you won’t have access anymore to the data in the OneDrive account, unless you have enabled unlicensed account billing. The end date of the roll-out is closing in, so it’s a good time to check the Unlicensed OneDrive Accounts reports and make sure you clean up the old accounts where possible or move the content to another location.

Otherwise, you will lose access to your stored passwords. Microsoft wants to streamline how passwords are stored in your Microsoft account.

Last week Microsoft announced that it will enforce stricter standards for domains sending more than 5,000 emails per day. Starting May 5th, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC will be required to successfully deliver emails to Outlook.com, Live.com, and Hotmail.com domain addresses. It has always been important to properly configure email authentication settings because together they prevent email spoofing and allow to verify the sender identity.
