Why do my Microsoft/Office 365 accounts get disconnected and how to fix it (SMTP disabled)

Follow these steps to reconnect your sending accounts.

Updated over a month ago

If your Microsoft 365 account disconnected after connecting, it could be because SMTP is disabled.

Here are the steps on how to fix the disconnected Microsoft/Office 365 accounts.

  1. Login to your Admin Console and select the account.

  2. Click Mail in the flyout that appears and click 'Manage email apps.'

  3. Check the checkbox of Authenticated SMTP to enable the SMTP. You may use their guide.

  4. Click Save.

  5. After an hour, remove accounts from Instantly and connect them again. Waiting for an hour is a crucial step. This allows Microsoft to propagate the changes and share new tokens with us.

  6. Click on your selected account's three dots in Instantly and select Remove account.

Note: In case you are getting the error 'Your account already exists' when trying to add it, you need to sign in Instantly from the Incognito window.
