I am currently unable to connect the e-mail parser to new company email. We changed from Google Gsuite to Office 365, but none of the configuration settings work. I am seeing the following message when testing connection. Aside from the issue of "$" in the password. Is there anything else I can be running into? Do they not support StartTLS?

I have issues with outbound email setup as well as Email Parser. There is a pic of screen with error messages and config parameters.

Hello @PaulP, I had similar issues with our O365 integration:

Configure Encryption Type to SSL, with Server Port to be 993

or

Configure Encryption Type to TLS, with Server Port to be 143

Also, I set the Mailbox name to be the email address of the mailbox (e.g. Mailbox name, Email and Username were all the same). 

 

In regards to the Outbound email section, I couldn't get TLS working with port 587, but SSL with 587 does work. My gut says this is a PSA issue, as we're following the MS guidelines... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/how-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-microsoft-365-or-office-365

 

Let us know if this helps? 

Wye, I tried all your suggestions but still did not work. For the outbound section I tried port 587 for both TLS and SSL and still failed. below is screenshot of error message.

Wye, in regards to parser setup, I followed your suggestion to change the Mailbox name, Email and Username to be all the same. The changes were not passing the test phase. if I try 993 with SSL and 143 for TLS and still cannot pass connection test

 

Hi, I would like to know whether you have solved this problem. I came across this a month ago when trying to connect my mail and old software to sort my emails. For some reason, it always gave an error, although, before that, everything worked fine. I already work through linkedin sales navigator scraper, but I would like to restore the previous account and work as before. After all, your post was written some time ago, and I will be glad if you share with other users and me how you solved this problem.

It's kinda random. Sometimes it's pretty instantaneous, sometimes it's like 20 minutes. I really couldn't give you a firm cycle time. We're moving from BMS and could easily change these settings.
