Consultant that need an email address from us
We have a consultant that works for us sometimes and he needs to be able to send and receive email from an address that belongs to our company, name@ourcompany.com. We don’t want him to use his own email address when doing work for us.
What is the best way to set him up so he can use an email address from us without getting any internal emails like from our company's global email, groups or reach anything else within our Office 365 account?
RobbanBIf your consultant needs to send email, than you need to create a user account with at least an Exchange Online Plan 1 license.
Mail contacts are used if you want to add external email addresses to your global address list. Since you need your consultant to write mails from @yourcompany.com, a mail contact only meets half of your requirements.

- Hello!
I am pretty sure creating a mail contact will do what you are asking.

You should be able to just add the secondary email address and it basically creates a forwarding rule for the mail contact to send mail to Jack@contoso.com to Jack@example.com.
