We're currently working on updating the company-wide email signature in our Sandbox environment. However, we've encountered an issue where Exchange Online is not visible in the MS 365 admin center for the Sandbox environment, despite having access to it before. Additionally, when attempting to create a new Sandbox account, we received a message stating we are not eligible for a Sandbox account at this time. Efforts to reach out to the Microsoft Developers Team have been unsuccessful as well, as their email appears to be retired, resulting in a bounced back email.

Hi Jeanne,
I've completed all the steps previously outlined, but unfortunately, none have resolved the issue. Despite our subscription expiring, we're attempting to continue using the Sandbox account. My account holds all necessary administrative roles, including Exchange Admin, as recommended by a Support engineer when I first raised this issue under the ticket "TrackingID#2411050040010736". I've made several attempts to contact Microsoft support without success. The engineer advised posting my questions here due to Microsoft discontinuing the email address [email protected], which I also attempted to reach.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing a solution on this.
I have also tried creating new Sandbox account but after creating the account it stated that I am not eligible for the sandbox, that is why we are trying to extend or renew the subscription we previously had.
Hi, @Nawid Haidari
Thank you for your reply. If your sandbox subscription has expired, you may not be able to create a new Sandbox account. You can choose to change to a new account to resubscribe:
