E-mail Servers are resources that allow you to control the e-mail server from which PerfectApps sends its e-mail messages. Adding e-mail servers as resources at the account level allows you to override the overall system e-mail server and use a custom server to send app notifications and system e-mails (such as sending a password link, sending an API key and sign-up messages).

In response to Microsoft's announcement that in Office 365 Exchange, they would be disabling Basic Authentication, we have implemented a secure, modern authentication experience for our users. This feature is implemented only for setting up custom Email servers in the Settings Dashboard.
To modify an existing Email server, select the server in your resources list, start at step three above and choose the Microsoft 365 Exchange Online options from the Server Type drop-down.
There are limits when using Microsoft 365 Exchange. For details see: Limits

After establishing the new e-mail server resource, you may set it as the default for this account by clicking the Make Default button. This default selection is the e-mail address by which system e-mails and notifications by e-mail will be sent unless otherwise overridden in the Notify behavior. If you do not specify an account-level default e-mail server, the system e-mail server will be used.
