Premier | Email Service Provider Setup
๐ Summary
This article will guide you through process of turning on Premier's new email service provider. This may be required due to a planned change from Microsoft relating to SMTP and basic authentication. Starting March 1, 2026, Microsoft will begin turning off Basic Authentication for sending emails with SMTP AUTH. By April 30, 2026, it will be completely disabled. After this date, apps and devices must use OAuth instead of Basic Authentication to send emails.
โLikely Scenario
As a user of Premier, you may start to find that you are unable to send confirmation emails to your customers alongside any marketing emails you may want to send.

- If you've entered your Office 365 details and you're unable to login, this may be because you're using the incorrect password, and it may be reaching out to your IT and asking them for assistance
- You'll need to ensure that the 365 user account you login with has permissions to send from the email address(s) that you've configured in Premier. Your IT may need to grant this access!
