## Pre-requisites

You will need the UPN and Password of a user who can send emails via Office 365.

A Licensed Office 365 account is also required.

## Activate Settings - //Resources/Configuration

Navigate to //Resources/Configuration and change the following parameters:

**SMTPServer**
Set this value to ssl://smtp.office365.com:587

Create a new parameter of the **NetworkCredential** Type:
**SMTPServerCredentials**
Set the UPN and Password of the Office 365 User in this.

## Limitations

Activate will need to sign-on to Office 365 in order to send emails, this is not noticeable in normal operations and notifications - however, this can add a noticeable delay in time-sensitive email requests. Examples are where the email is being sent to an SMS Gateway.

These configurations only work if using the MailUtilities.SendEmail method as this Activate Class is configured to use this information. 

If sending emails from a custom script calling PowerShell or native .Net email classes, these configurations will be ignored.
