Use Microsoft 365 for System Mail

You can choose from several supported mail providers to handle mail for your WHMCS installation. To configure Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), you will need to configure SMTP as your mail provider.

Your mail provider configuration is separate from any email piping or importing that you configure for your support departments. For more information, see Email Piping and Email Importing.

  1. In the Admin Area, go to the Mail tab at Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings.
