Microsoft has rolled out new customization options for Reply-all Storm Protection, which is used to detect and restrict email storms in organizations. The feature will be available to all by mid-June.
“Reply all” email storms are somewhat amusing to watch from a distance due to the fact that they break the daily workflow mundaneness as people commonly inject jokes and other forms of humor into online exchanges. But they can also be a nuisance, especially in large organizations. There have been multiple reported instances where distribution lists containing hundreds of thousands of people have been part of an email chain where millions of emails have been exchanged for several hours.
