Hiya,
I've recently had the fun of trying to get MailMate working with
Office365 so that I have to use Outlook for Mac as little as possible
– BusyCal does a good job with the calendar but can't show shared
calendars, sigh. Benny has done a great job of getting things to work,
but Microsoft does an even better way of breaking them and in my case,
SMTP-Auth is disabled. :-(
If this is the case, the error message will at least point you to the
right page for help:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/authenticated-client-smtp-submission
But the page is both misleading and inaccurate. MailMate is registered
for working with Office365 but SMTP-Auth has to be explicitly enabled.
Luckily, I'm admin but unluckily, there is no option for users to enable
SMTP-Auth for individual users. I suspect there is a global setting
__somewhere__…
Fortunately, PowerShell for Mac is pretty easy to install and use. It
has awful default colours so you will probably want to set up a special
terminal profile with a dark background if you want to see what you're
doing. After that install the relevant modules and then it's pretty easy
```
Set-CASMailbox -Identity
charlie.cl...@ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyoulivethere.com
-SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled $false
```
And, hey presto!
PowerShell is also great for setting mailbox delegation, especially if
you **don't** want these added automatically to desktop clients. But
basically, using Outlook and Exchange makes me want to cry. I've
recently moved one mail account to OpenXchange (on mailbox.org) but I
can't test the features that ~~losers~~ users will need most such as
sharing and delegation.
Charlie
PS Benny, can you bump the maximum e-mail size so that we can send
high-resolution screenshots more easily?
