Live DNS verification +(via 8.8.8.8) confirmed: `mvaninc.com` MX is healthy (`mvaninc-com.mail.protection.outlook.com`, +M365) with valid SPF (`v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all`), while `mvanic.com` +is NXDOMAIN. Conclusion: sender-side typo (likely bad cached autocomplete/contact on the +senders' end); nothing to fix on MVAN's side. + +Symptoms 2-5 were assessed as one event, not four: a full mailbox re-sync plus client +change — prime suspect a forced New Outlook toggle or an Outlook profile rebuild +(view changes, local cache rebuilds, everything re-downloads, read/moved state appears +reset, older dates backfill). Outstanding questions posed for the client: which users are +affected, which mail client(s) they use (Outlook classic / New Outlook / OWA / Mac Mail / +phone), and whether the view change was in browser or desktop. + +Winter asked for a Syncro ticket. Mike directed that the bounce (symptom 1) be excluded +from the ticket. Created Syncro ticket **#32554** (id 113827636) for MVAN Enterprises Inc +(customer 29462761) with subject "Email issues - mailbox re-sync symptoms, changed Outlook +view", assigned to Winter (user 1737), priority 2 Normal, issue type Email, with an +internal (do_not_email) Initial Issue comment documenting symptoms 2-5, the suspected +cause, and the awaiting-client questions.
