WPO365 | MS GRAPH MAILER provides you with a modern, reliable and efficient way to send WordPress transactional emails from one of your Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online / Mail enabled accounts. The plugin re-configures your WordPress website to send emails using the Microsoft Graph API instead of – for example – SMTP. Sending WordPress emails using the Microsoft Graph API has become the only available alternative after Microsoft has disabled basic authentication (username and password) over the SMTP protocol. DELIVERY Send WordPress transactional emails from one of your Microsoft 365 Exchange Online / Mail enabled accounts using Microsoft Graph instead of – for example – SMTP. Choose between delegated (send mail as a user) and application-level (send mail as any user) type permissions. Or: Select either a Microsoft 365 account or a personal Microsoft account, like Hotmail.com or Outlook.com, to send WordPress emails. Or: Configure RBAC for Exchange Online and authorize as an application but with a limited scope e.g. one specific mailbox. SEND AS HTML Send emails formatted as HTML. SAVE TO SENT ITEMS Emails sent will be saved in the account’s mailbox in the Sent Items folder, further helping to track (successful) mail delivery. ATTACHMENTS Send files from your WordPress website as attachments. WPO365 INSIGHTS See what matters, when it happens Track key WPO365 events like sent emails with WPO365 Insights more CONFIGURATION / TEST EMAIL DELIVERY Easy configuration with detailed step-by-step Getting started guide and video.

SHARED MAILBOX Send email from Microsoft 365 Shared Mailbox. STAGING MODE Mail Staging Mode is useful for debugging and staging environments. WordPress emails will be logged and saved in the database instead of being sent. DYNAMIC SEND-FROM Allow forms to override “From” address e.g allow Contact Form 7 to dynamically configure the account used to send the email from (requires application-level Mail.Send permissions). MAIL THROTTLE Throttle the number of emails sent from your website per minute. WP-CONFIG FOR AAD SECRETS Further improve overall security by choosing to store Azure Active Directory secrets in your WordPress WP-Config.php (on disk) and have those secrets removed from the database. SEND AS BCC Send emails as BCC instead and prevent reply-to-all mail pollution. REPLY-TO Configure a default reply-to mail address if this should differ from the account’s mail address that is used to send WordPress transactional emails from. Prerequisites We have tested our plugin with WordPress >= 5.0 and PHP >= 5.6.40. You need to be an Entra ID Tenant Administrator to configure both Azure Active Directory and the plugin.
