Email Piping: Microsoft Office 365

This article covers how to configure the support ticket system to enable importing of new tickets and replies from e-mail accounts hosted with Office 365.

Before beginning, we recommend having WHMCS setup and working properly on your web server so as to avoid any unexpected issues.

Set up Email Addresses in Office365

Follow these steps:

  • We will be creating a shared mailbox in Office365 for your WHMCS support department. Please navigate to Recipients > Shared > New
  • Then in the popup form enter the details for your new shared Office365 Mailbox. Ensure to click More Options near the bottom, so you can specify the Alias. Add your admin user to the list of users that have permission to view and send mail from this shared mailbox. In this example we have used [email protected] 
  • Here you will see your newly created shared mailbox user. Click on the key icon and reset the password
  • Under Setup > Support > Support Departments in WHMCS, create at least one department and configure the email account assigned to it with the POP3 settings like:
Hostname: outlook.office365.com
Port: 995
User: [email protected]
Password: yourpassw0rd
