How to remove [External] from Outlook emails, users are getting furious

Anonymous

Since early December all of our Outlook365 users (in all tenants) have been getting the tag [External] in the subject line of their Outlook, and want it removed. I am only finding PS scripts which do not work. I have searched the settings and security areas of the admin console but have not found anything. Please help!

    Your being "straight and to the point" is actually rude and offensive. I know you are "volunteering and expect nothing in return" but that doesn't give you license to use offensive language in this community-why not just leave that out when you answer from now on?

    thanks for calling me gullible or dumb :D

    I am telling you that Outlook flags as external "@starbucks.com" email accounts if they are contractors and not FTEs. Btw, when *I* was a Microsoft Insider I was much more courteous to the outsiders I interacted with than you are with me now. Just sayin'

    Can we use regedit? Is it a registry key? I searched for External-something and was out of luck

    I guess I am out of ammo on this one. We are a direct Microsoft CSP, and it worked for us. It might be that your reseller is not giving full tenant access??

    Yes Jim, is at the Tenant level but powershell and module are installed on a workstation just for launch command.
