Configure the SMTP settings of Board and Desk Series
The option to send your work by email has to be configured through the web interface in order to be available. Read the Advanced Settings article for more information on how to access the web interface.
Microsoft has announced they will disable Basic Auth for SMTP with Exchange online, starting September 2025. This is how Cisco devices authenticate with SMTP servers. From this date, “send to email” will no longer be compatible with Microsoft 365 Exchange online.
Microsoft has offered two workarounds which we are recommending:
-
Microsoft High Volume Email service, which will maintain Basic Auth for SMTP and can be used for sending email internally in the Microsoft tenant.
-
Azure Communications Service, which can be used for both internal and external emails.
