Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
The Microsoft Lync instant messaging (IM) feature is enabled for Outlook Web App in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment.
-
You create an email message that contains more than seven individual recipients (excluding distribution lists and external recipients). Then, you send the email message.
-
A recipient opens the email message in Outlook Web App, and the recipient list in the email message is collapsed. Then, the recipient opens a chat window by clicking the Reply all by IM button.
In this scenario, only seven recipients appear in the chat window.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Reply all by IM button only checks one specific collection that contains up to seven recipients in the list.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, install the following service pack:

Workaround

Status
