This article contains information on configuring Mimecast connectors for cloud services, on-premises Exchange, and hybrid environments, including setup steps, prerequisites, editing, deleting, and multi-tenancy considerations to ensure seamless integration with Mimecast services.

Walkthrough

You can mark up to ten Mimecast Administration Console dialogs as favorites. This allows you to quickly access a function from a toolbar icon without having to navigate through the menus. For example, if you are:

• • • Responsible for amending the roles for users, you can set the roles and permissions dialog as a favorite.
    • Frequently creating or amending policies, you can add the gateway policies dialog as a favorite.
