Overview
Configure Microsoft 365 or Office 365 send connector (SMTP connector) to archive emails to Vaultastic. If you already have this send connector set up, you can skip this step.
Repeat this step for each of your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 email domains for archiving emails to Vaultastic. The Microsoft 365 or Office 365 send connector (SMTP connector) for each domain will have to be configured using the journal id of the corresponding Vaultastic domain.
Steps to configure an Office 365 send connector (SMTP connector)
