About this tag
Message trace in Exchange Online is a critical tool for administrators to track email delivery, investigate mail flow issues, and audit message activity. Recent updates from Microsoft have introduced a new Message Trace experience, now in general availability, with V2 PowerShell cmdlets (Get-MessageTraceV2), a revamped UI in the Exchange admin center, extended query windows, and new throttling limits.
