Mail-Advanced.ReadWrite permissions required to change sensitive email properties in Exchange Online via Graph API

Microsoft announced a breaking change to the Microsoft Graph API affecting Exchange Online: from December 31, 2026, applications that modify sensitive email properties -- such as the subject, body, or recipients -- on delivered messages must hold elevated Mail-Advanced.ReadWrite permissions. Until now, the standard Mail.ReadWrite permission was sufficient for these operations. The new permissions require explicit approval from the tenant administrator ("admin consent"). If you operate Microsoft 365 and have custom applications or third-party tools that interact with email via the Graph API, you need to audit and potentially update these apps before the enforcement date.

Firefox’s free VPN finally works for m

Firefox recently added a free built-in VPN, but access to the feature is rolling out gradually – but I finally got my turn in the queue last night, when I opened Firefox on Ubuntu and a ‘VPN’ label was sitting in the browser toolbar.
