> it's using EWS (Exchange Web Services) which is being removed in October 2026 for Office36

This is Microsoft we're talking about here, so if its slated for removal in Oct '26, it will be put into LTS, and finally 'retired' (but operational) _starting_ around 2031.

Microsoft swears it's happening: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/retirement...

Take the blog article for what you will. I have noticed in Office365, they tend to be less backward compatible than you would expect from Microsoft.

And when has that ever meant it comes without delay?

Up to you if you believe Microsoft or not. I don't really care, I haven't messed with 365 outside being end user in years.

to be fair with you, EWS has been deprecated since I think 2014, so we're already in the "pushed" window.

As an on-prem admin, I am blown away that there's 30-40 changes to 365 monthly, often including at least two or three feature deprecations. It seems like building a building on top of quicksand.

The have been keeping to the timeline when it comes to other recent Exchange Online removals (certain auth roles).

The new Microsoft is unfortunately not like the old one.
