Hi Guys,

I've changed direction and setup my appointment reminders using my local ISP. 5 minutes, done. I can't believe how much more complicated simple tasks have become with "advancements" like Outlook 365.

In any case, I appreciate your input,

Thank you.

Is the user account licensed for Exchange Online?

  hi guys, thank you for the responses.
  
  I'm trying to determine if the software supports "TLS" right now. What do you mean by "account licensed for Exchange Online". I assumed it was because it was setup for/under Outlook 365. How can I check?
  
  Thank you.

    The user/account must be licensed to send mail. This is easiest checked in the admin portal in office 365 -> users -> select the user you use for smtp and check under licenses
