    Hello,

    Microsoft's recommendation is to use certificate-based authentication or OAUTH2.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi Marco

    Thanks. I believe TLS is also secure connection but I am not sure how to find out if it is supported by BC (Enchantment Email) or not.  Any idea how to find out?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    It is the other way around. The question is if the SMTP server that is in use is supporting TLS. If you run a telnet session against the SMTP server, you will see if it is able to supports TLS over port 587.

    telnet smtp.office365 587

    Result:

    250 SMTPUTF8

    The 250-STARTTLS is important here which states there is support for TLS. Assuming you are using Exchange Online for your BC app, then the following applies:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../exchange-online-uses-tls-to-secure-email-connections

    Note that with enhanced Email in BC, we do not support Hybrid Exchange environments (Exchange Online plus Exchange OnPrem).

    Hope this answers the question.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Marco for information. It was very educational. Based on your info if server support TLS then setting up BC with port 587 is possible and will work. Thanks again
