Step 0: Verify the origin of your email account
Determine if your email address is from Outlook or Microsoft Office 365 by checking its domain:
If your email ends with @yourdomain.com, additional configuration might be required.
If you are using Outlook or already have SMTP configured, skip directly to Step 3.
Step 1: Access your Microsoft admin page
Ensure you have administrator privileges, which are required to enable authenticated SMTP.
Open the Microsoft Admin Page: Click here to access it.
From the Admin Center:
Select the domain for which you want to make changes.
Go to the domain page and click on Users to see all associated accounts.
Select the user you want to connect to Waalaxy.
A menu will appear on the right:
Click on Mail > Manage email apps.
Enable the Authenticated SMTP option (if not already checked).
Save your changes.
Step 2: Disable modern authentication
💡 What is Modern Authentication?
Modern authentication is a security feature that may block synchronization with third-party tools like Waalaxy.
If you want to learn more about modern authentication:
From the Microsoft admin center:
Click on Settings, then Organization settings.
Search for Modern Authentication in the list.
Click on Modern authentication, which will provide a link labelled Enable security defaults in the Azure portal.
To disable Modern authentication:
Open the Azure portal
Click on Manage Security Defaults.
Set the security defaults to No, and save your changes.
Step 3: Sync Outlook with Waalaxy
Once you have completed the previous steps:
Log in to your Waalaxy account.
Enter your Outlook credentials to complete the connection.
Congratulations! Your Outlook account is now successfully synchronized with Waalaxy and ready to use 🚀.
