Email Accounts Setup in Dynamics BC
I have issues setting up email like I did previously. Previously, I used SMTP setup and apply office365 settings. Then I enter my outlook email address and password to authenticate.
Now, when I use the same approach to setup emails accounts, it gives an error when I test send emails from BC. Is there another approach I can setup up emails?

I found this article and may help you.
Set up email in Business Central – Business Central | Microsoft Learn
Use SMTP
If you want to use SMTP protocol to send emails from Business Central, you can use the SMTP Connector extension. When you set up an account that uses SMTP, the Sender Type field is important. If you choose Specific User, emails are sent using the name and other information from the account you’re setting up. However, if you choose Current User, emails are sent from the email account specified for each user’s account. Current User is similar to the Send As feature

This is what I’d recommend
This is honestly the easiest and most reliable method. It uses modern authentication, so you don’t have to worry about storing passwords or dealing with MFA issues.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Go into Business Central and search for “Set Up Email”
- Pick the Microsoft 365 option
- Hit Next
- Sign in with your Microsoft 365 email (you might need admin consent if it asks)
- Allow the permissions it requests
Why this is better: It uses OAuth, doesn’t store your password anywhere, works fine with multi-factor authentication, and it’s what Microsoft actually supports. Honestly, use this one if you can.
