O365 mailboxes, DL's, MBX Size, message in/out metrics and details, etc.

Great suggestion, thanks! Who else is looking to analyze Exchange information? If you think it'd be valuable, please add your votes!

Yes. Would be great to analyze email data. In our company we have alot of error logs and automatic notifications sent via email.

We would also like to see automatic refresh for the cloud version of exchange

That would be great, especially if you running Hybrid config with O365

RE: Office 365 Exchange Data

Just used the Exchange mailbox connection in the PowerBI desktop tool...disappointed to find that it doesn't include the FROM column...how does PowerBI determine what data is available from the mailbox...

Power Query in Excel has a "From Microsoft Exchange" option that can read email contents in addition to email metrics. It works with my Office 365 account. It would be awesome to have this in Power BI.

RE: Office 365 Exchange Data

yes, lets be clear here. Exchange online as a data source would be wonderful. In the first preview of Power BI I was able to connect on one occasion and have never been able to since. It was a sad day.
