Stop/dismiss notifications for Admins
Every time there is some sort of notification in Office 365 Admin (i.e. your subscription expires in 57 days, you cancelled a subscription, etc.), all of the admins get a VERY annoying notification and "ding" noise every time they navigate to a new page in the Portal/SharePoint/etc. It makes it nearly impossible to work. First of all, these notifications are next to useless and some can't even be dismissed (i.e. you cancelled a subscription - who cares??). Second, you should be able to dismiss them easily or just turn off the functionality altogether. This was a bad feature update by Microsoft and has nearly driven all the admins in our office crazy.

Billing Admins do NOT need to know that IE11 is a pile of shot and is being disabled !!!!
At least allow a Global Admin the capability to manage alerts for other users! They know not how to turn these off and care even less to knowing how to, they just want them stopped!

I have hundreds of migration currently running, and am finding the Admin centre fills up with pointless notifications telling me that I have migrations running - I know, I set them running! Please make a way to stop this tiresome waste of electricity.
I don't want to be notified about the status of migrations, currently working on a laptop and these ridiculous messages take up a third of the screen. Should be able to turn them on and off for individual admin accounts -

25 notifications currently and repeatedly popping up to tell me i have migration batches in progress. Constant nagging over and over, repeatedly even after I acknowledge these. Needs to be a way to disable these or put them in an email summary. Ridiculous.

I do not want to login to office 365 and stay logged in. Every time I open outlook to work or any of the 365 products the request to login appears. I log in to manage my 365 account when that is the task I am trying to accomplish. I do not use any of the sharing or cloud apps. I need to be able to turn this off.

I wholeheartedly agree. Although some people may like them, some ( a lot ) of us do not and would like the ability to shut them off.

I'm getting a pop up message about the Teams app every time I sign into my computer and can't figure out how to get rid of it. I don't want to use Teams and there is no option to dismiss or turn off notification. Very annoying.

This issue is most invasive when doing a large migration from Exchange on-premises to Exchange Online when you have lots of migration batches. It's such a bad "feature".
It's really annoying.

Please allow one admin to turn off for all admins.

I'd like the ability to disable the "archive quota warning" that is sent when a user has auto expanding archive enabled, or when we have it enabled for our tenant. Currently, users will receive "your archive is about to run out of space" messages when they pass within 10GB of their current archive storage limit, even though the archive will expand before it fills. This creates confusion for users and distrust of the process / configuration.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. You would think that after 2.5 years this would've been fixed.

Hello Anonymous - We're not referring to emails, but pop-up messages on screen.

Very simple solution. Just create a Transport rule to delete the emails.

Please stop this ding and notification! Once we acknowledge it once, it should go away!

I also find this annoying and have been in touch with support team about this. They told me that the more people who vote for this problem the more likely Microsoft will do something about it so keep voting and aim for 2-3k votes.
