If you are having issues enabling SMTP authentication successfully, follow these steps in order to connect your inbox to our platform. If you are on an operating system outside of Windows, please contact support, and we can assist you in executing these commands.
Note: You will need to log into PowerShell under your administrator account in order to perform these steps. Under the administrator account, you can enable these settings for all other inboxes under your workplace.
Enabling SMTP
Step 1: Launch PowerShell in Administrator Mode
Open PowerShell in Administrator mode. If you are utilizing Windows, then this is already pre-installed. For Mac Users, please install the PowerShell .pkg file via the Microsoft Hub page.
Step 2: Log into your Microsoft Account
To log in to your Microsoft account via PowerShell, enter the following commands in order. Please note that after you enter Command 1, this will ask you to confirm the installation of the module. You may also need to install an additional module so if a prompt as seen below pops up, enter A and let it load.
If you get an error when attempting to do this, you most likely do not have Remote signing enabled, so relaunch PowerShell and enter the following command and try again.
Command 0: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Command 1: Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Command 2: Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Command 3: Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName {{your-email}} -ShowProgress$true
Note: If you are importing the ExchangeOnlineManagement for the first time it will take a few moments to load in. If you have already installed ExchangeOnlineManagement in the past you will still need to import this.
Once you enter in the 2nd command it will prompt you to sign in using this email address and password.
Step 3: Enable your SMTP Authentication
Once you have successfully loaded ExchangeOnlineManagement, all you need to do is enter the following command, and SMTP Authentication will be enabled under your Microsoft.
Command 3: Set-CASMailbox -Identity {{Your email address}} -SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled $false
It will take a few moments to process, but once a new line starts with no error message, then it was successful.
Step 4: Add your Inbox to Warmup Inbox
Once you have successfully enabled SMTP authentication, you can now sync your inbox to our platform utilizing the following settings.
