Email Servers are resources that allow you to control the email server from which PerfectApps sends its email messages. Adding email servers as resources at the account level allows you to override the overall system email server and use a custom server to send app notifications and system emails (such as sending a password link, sending an API key and sign-up messages).

To modify an existing Email server, select the server in your resources list, start at step three above and choose the Microsoft 365 Exchange Online options from the Server Type drop-down.
