Microsoft 365, the popular online service for Microsoft Office applications, can also be used to send emails in SeaTable. If you have a Microsoft 365 account, you only need to set it up as an email account in a Base to be able to send emails from SeaTable. Email is then sent via the Microsoft Exchange Server using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
Preparation in Microsoft 365 Admin Center required
To use your Microsoft 365 account in SeaTable, you must first enable authentication using SMTP in your email settings.
- Log in as an administrator of your Microsoft 365 account via login .microsoftonline.com.
- Select an active user. Then a panel with several tabs will open.
- Call the E-mail tab.
- Click Manage Email Apps.
- Enable Authenticated SMTP.
Since Active Directory security standards are not compatible with sending emails via SMTP Auth, you need to disable it.
With this, you have made all the preparations to be able to use your Microsoft 365 account as an email account in SeaTable.
Creating the SMTP account in SeaTable
Now you need to add your Microsoft 365 account in your SeaTable Base. To do this, the following steps are necessary:
- Open the advanced base options via the three dots in the upper right corner.
- Select the Third Party Integration option.
- Add a new email account.
- Enter the following information:
- Account name: A brief description of the account
- Sender: your Microsoft 365 email address
- SMTP server: smtp.office365.com
- SMTP port: 587
- Username: Your Microsoft 365 email address
- Password: Your password
