Configure Sending Email Outlook Email Address

[nuevo_espo]

I am excited to try out EspoCRM but am having trouble getting an email to send.

I do not need to receive emails via EspoCRM but need to send them. Our organization uses Outlook. These are the details of my EspoCRM configuration and the Outlook configuration:

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
PHP 8.1.29
Apache/2.4.59 (Ubuntu)

Email config:

Server: smtp.office365.com
Port: 465
Security: SSL


Is it possible to send emails via Outlook wtih EspoCRM without purchasing the extension?


Thanks,
Kristen

Hi nuevo_espo,

There is the possibility to use Outlook SMTP without Outlook integration by creating app password and specifying it instead of your Outlook account password:

Also, please use the configurations shown on the screenshot:

Thanks, that's interesting, for other Apps, too.

Hint: For Business case, you have to enable MFA enforce at MS Entra ID / Azure Active Directory first. Otherwise you can't create an App-Password (Option "Create App-Password" is missing if MFA is not enforced for that account). Even if MFA is enabled for "all" in O365, which is the "Standard" round for about a year ago.
But this is not syncronized from O365 to Entra ID. Just telling...
