Enabling SMTP Auth for the Mailboxes E-automate and Related Programs Are Using to Send Email
Beginning October 1, 2022, Microsoft plans to begin disabling Basic authentication for Outlook, EWS, RPS, POP, IMAP, and EAS protocols. When this change occurs, automatic e-mail functionality found within e-automate, e-agent, e-info, Digital Analytics, Digital Taskforce, FMAudit, MobileTech, Printanista, Remote Service Manager, and RemoteTech may stop working if you are using Microsoft Office 365 unless you enable SMTP Auth for each mailbox your system is using to send email from these programs. These changes should allow automatic emailing from these programs to continue to function through the end of the year, allowing time for exploring alternate solutions.
If you are using Microsoft Office 365, do the following:
