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!

    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'

    do you mean: "It usually the dumbest users who request this type of warning"? Btw, there are contract-workers with a company email (a-, v-) who outlook still marks as "external" -- it makes it really hard to check email
