BCS Column Limit

- SharePoint 2010
This is not new news, but I couldn’t find information on it at first. Most BCS examples and implementations tend to be small so you don’t see this often:
In a nutshell, you cannot load more than 20 identifiers per the BCS specification (even if the BCS tools allow you to add more).

Office 365 and Outlook 2010: Handle various email addresses
Thought I would share a piece of useful information regarding the use “other emails” in Exchange online. Traditionally, an account is created with an email address for handling public and shared email accounts. In Office 365, you can add “other emails” to an account to save the cost of adding additional accounts. In order to identify the emails coming in from the difference email addresses, you can use a server rule looking into the internet header information.
In my case, the email I am looking for is info@myemail.com. I created a new blank rule and use the condition “with <specific words> in the message header”. Then you can create whatever action is deemed proper.
Done!
