Microsoft to Shut Down Exchange Online EWS in April 2027
Microsoft announced that the Exchange Web Services (EWS) API for Exchange Online will be blocked on October 1, 2026 and fully retired on April 1, 2027. Administrators can create an allow‑list by August 2026 to bypass the October block, after which Microsoft will pre‑populate allow lists based on usage. The company urges developers to transition to the Microsoft Graph API, which now offers near‑complete parity with EWS for cloud mailboxes. On‑premises Exchange servers will continue to support EWS, but hybrid scenarios must adapt to Graph for cloud access.
