IMAP is working fine,

SMTP test connection showing below error.

"Connection Failed

Email sender connection invalid.: Cannot connect to SMTP server: smtp.office365.com"

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I managed to solve this on my own,

below are the steps.

Configure your OAuth Profile in Application Registry, Add Entity Scopes.

Create 2 Email Accounts, one for IMAP and another for SMTP.

When you click on "Authorize Email Account" .

Make sure that you are signed in as same email account in the browser that you want to configure for email sending and receiving.

For example.

My email ID is 'jayantcpandit@gmail.com'

Email that I want to configure is 'example@example.com'

In this case, I need to sign in to the browser with 'example@example.com' where I click on "Authorize Email Account", not with my 'jayantcpandit@gmail.com'

With this way, it will make sure that you are using correct account to authorize.

Hope this helps.

Please mark this helpful, if solves your issue.

Thanks

Jayant

No it wouldn't be an issue. You can have the same email for IMAP and SMTP

Thank you for responding. Have you tested Inbound email and Outbound email with the configuration?

@Nguyen Minh Tam We are now facing the same issue, did you find a solution for this?
We have checked and we do have an E5 license but still getting the same error. We was able to authorize the SMTP email account but when testing the connection, that is when we get the error.
