WHMCS's mail provider integrations offer the choice of several configuration options, allowing you to take advantage of more service-specific features and advanced security.

* Microsoft is available in WHMCS 8.6 and later and supports all Microsoft Azure®-compatible email services.
* Google, Mailgun, SendGrid, and SparkPost are available in WHMCS 8.0 and later.
* PHP mail and SMTP are available in all versions of WHMCS.

== How Do I Configure My Mail Provider? ==

You can configure your mail provider in the '''[[Mail_Tab|Mail]]''' tab at '''Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings'''.

* For instructions using Microsoft, see [https://help.whmcs.com/m/system/l/1600738-setting-up-microsoft-as-your-mail-service-provider Setting Up Microsoft As Your Mail Service Provider].
* For instructions using Google, see [https://help.whmcs.com/m/support_tools/l/1328652-setting-up-pop3-importing-with-oauth-via-google Setting Up POP3 Importing via Google].
* For instructions using Mailgun, SendGrid, and SparkPost, see [https://help.whmcs.com/m/system/l/1282745-configuring-whmcs-to-use-other-mail-providers Configuring WHMCS To Use Other Mail Providers].
* For instructions using SMTP, see [https://help.whmcs.com/m/system/l/1261831-configuring-whmcs-to-use-smtp-for-whmcs-8 Configuring WHMCS to Use SMTP for WHMCS 8+].

To configure Microsoft, you will need to create an app in the Microsoft Azure® console and configure the mail provider in the '''[[Mail_Tab|Mail]]''' tab at '''Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings'''.

If you use WHMCS's Google or Microsoft® integrations, you get the full benefit of those services' additional features, including OAuth2, which provides more security than traditional username-and-password authentication.

== Security and OAuth2 ==

OAuth2 is a technology that authorizes apps or services like WHMCS to access another service, such as a Gmail account. It's more secure than traditional username-and-password authentication. In addition to its security benefits, some mail providers require OAuth or have announced a requirement for it in the future.

== How Do I Configure Services for Email Importing? ==

WHMCS supports POP3/IMAP, Microsoft, or Google service providers for email importing. Email importing is distinct from your WHMCS installation's mail provider.

You can configure [[Email Importing Integrations|email importing]] when you create or update a support department at '''Configuration () > System Settings > [[Support Departments]]'''.
