Herewith a guide to connecting WordPress email via Office 365 through an app registration in Azure i..c.w. the WordPress plugin Fluent SMTP. Much of the manual works the same with the plugin WP Mail SMTP Pro. With WP Mail SMTP, you need the Pro version to make this connection.
The app registration connector is the successor to the default connector that can be set up in Office 365.
1. Download and install Fluent SMTP
2. Go to settings/setting from Fluent SMTP
3. When importing old data, select "Skip”
4. Choose from the services for Microsoft
5. At from e-mail choose the e-mail address, e.g. info@milcraftappvoorbeeld.nl
6. Under from name, choose the name the recipient should see when a new mail is sent, e.g. "Tom van Miltenburg | Milcraft”
7. Copy the callback at "App callback URL (Use this URL for your APP)“.
For the website https://www.milcraftappvoorbeeld.nl is this https://www.milcraftappvoorbeeld.nl/wp-json/fluent-smtp/outlook_callback
8. Now we make the Application client ID and the Application client secret.
Open in a new tab naat https://portal.azure.com. Log in here using your office login details, so in this example info@milcraftappvoorbeeld.nl with mailbox password.
9. In the search bar, type "App registrations”
10. At the top left, press "New registration”
11. Under name, enter a display name. Only you-you see this in Azure.
12. Choose "Accounts in each organisational directory (each Microsoft Entra ID tenant: multiple tenants) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)”
13. At "Diversion-URI (optional)" for "Web" and place the previously copied callback url from step 7 here.
14. Press "Register“.
15. Copy the string behind "Application ID (client ID)" and matches it to Fluent SMTP in the field "Application client ID”
16. Go to the Azure tab again and open the "Certificates and secrets" and press "+New client secret“.
17. Under description, enter your own description. Only you will see this.
18. Choose a period. Bear in mind that you will have to create a new one after that period and put it in your diary in advance. This is because it won't work after that.
19. Copy the string under "Value" and matched it in Fluent SMTP at "Application client secret" and press the button "Authenticate & get access token”
20. A Access Code generated. Copy the entire code and paste it into Fluent SMTP under "Access code“.
21. Press "Save connection settings”
22. In Fluent SMTP, go to the tab "E-mail test" and send a test mail. We use mail-tester.com

Advantages Office 365
- Comprehensive functionalities
Office 365 is actually a server and workplace in the cloud. You can edit all your documents online (also together with your team), your mail is handled via this server and everything is safely stored in the cloud. Thanks to apps such as Outlook and Office Online, SharePoint and Teams, Office 365 offers a complete professional collaboration environment. - Accessed
You can log in via the browser, but there are also apps available for your phone, tablet, PC or Mac. For extra security, you can set up 2FA: additional authentication via SMS or the Authenticator app. - Attractive rates
With our hosting packages, you can mail by default, but those mailboxes share space with your website (2 or 4 GB). Office 365 mail costs just a few euros a month, but you get a 50 GB mailbox. For an extra charge, you also get 1 TB of cloud storage, always the latest versions of Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word and access to SharePoint Team sites. - Limited investment in hardware and software
What used to be an expensive solution is now affordable. Thanks to Office 365, you often no longer need to buy extra servers or expensive software, because everything runs through Microsoft. - Central management of documents and information
As an administrator, you can set your own data structures and permissions for other users. This is not possible with many other platforms. - Microsoft Partner
Milcraft works closely with Mooij Werkt, a Microsoft Partner (Silver Small and Midmarket Cloud Solutions). They advise you on the choice, arrange the complete installation and remain your point of contact afterwards. - Compatibility
Office 365 works perfectly with programmes like Word and Excel. For example, you can save documents directly to the cloud from these programmes. - Spam and virus protection
Office 365 has an excellent spam filter by default that helps you stop spam and viruses in your mailbox. - Different types of subscriptions
Every company is different. Not every employee needs the same package. You can choose a different subscription for each employee, and upgrade or downgrade later if necessary. - Always the latest version of Word, Outlook, Excel and other programmes
With an Office 365 Premium licence, for example, you will always have the latest version of Word, Excel, Outlook and other Office software. - Test licence
At Mooij Werkt, you can request a trial licence. After the trial period, you can then easily decide whether you want to continue with Office 365. - Customer satisfaction
Without exaggerating: almost every customer is satisfied with Office 365 - even customers who had doubts beforehand.
Disadvantages of Office 365
- Backup
Office 365 has limitations in terms of backup. We therefore recommend using an external backup solution. - Office 365 support
Microsoft's support department is English-speaking. Due to time differences and complexity within Microsoft, it can be difficult to reach the right department quickly.
You avoid this by working with a Dutch-speaking Microsoft Partner like Mooij Werkt.

You will receive a link in the mail to recreate the password.
If you press this link, you can enter a new password. This may also be the suggested password, but you can also change it. Do use a unique and hard-to-remember password. Especially for admin/administrator accounts, this is strongly recommended.
Then press the blue button below this field that reads "Reset password" to confirm the password. You can do this operation as many times as you like.
Have you completely locked yourself out by not being able to access your mail either? The password and mail address can also be changed via the database if necessary. Of course, we can also help with that.
This is the screen to reset the password.

We will then process your data in our records.
Do you also want the data updated at the domain name authorities?

Milcraft supports both POP3 as IMAP for email. Which is the best option for you depends on a number of factors:
- the size of your mailbox
- the number of devices on which you want to receive e-mail
- the type of devices on which you want to receive e-mail
- the number of folders in your mailbox
Of course, you can use Roundcube-webmail, but you can also set up e-mail in well-known e-mail applications such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail or the default apps on your Mac, iPhone or iPad.
You will need the following details for this: your username and your password. You will receive these from us after the installation of your services.
By default, we provide you with a strong password for your mailbox. We recommend that you keep this or choose a similar strong password. You can change your password in Roundcube via Settings > Password.
In your e-mail programme, enter the following settings. You can choose between secured and unsecured connections. Below are the settings for secure email:
IMAP settings
Incoming mail
Server: hosting[herenummervandeserver].mooijwerkt.nl, e.g. hosting1.mooijwerkt.nl
(This is in your welcome e-mail; if you don't know, feel free to call or e-mail us).
Port: 993
Security: SSL
Outgoing mail
Server: hosting[herenummervandeserver].mooijwerkt.nl, e.g. hosting1.mooijwerkt.nl
Port: 587
Security: StartTLS or TLS
For both incoming and outgoing mail, tick the password verification option.
Enter your full e-mail address and password here.
On first connection, your programme will ask if you trust the certificate/server. You can just accept this.
Although the standard webmail works fine, we recommend for intensive use, large folder structures or large mailboxes Office 365 to.
Benefits include 50GB of storage and seamless integration with Office products such as Outlook.
Want to know more about Office 365 or have questions about setting up your email? Then feel free to get in touch via the customer panel or call us on 0172-897789.

When you switched to Milcraft, you received a very strong password. We recommend that you use this for the security of your mailbox. Change this password regularly for a new one. We recommend doing this every three months. Choose a new password of similar strength.
A handy tool for keeping track of many and long passwords is KeePass.
Should you still wish to replace the password, you can do so in Roundcube at settings > password. Keep in mind that if you change the password in Roundcube, it will also change for your mail client on your PC, laptop, tablet and/or phone....
