Enable SMTP AUTH for the specific user account/mailbox that BPA Platform is to use. If this is not done, the OAUTH flow in the browser window spawned by BPA Platform may complete successfully (depending on whether step 4 below has been done), however the tool will still complain at runtime that authorisation has not been granted.

If only ‘Modern Authentication‘ is to be used (OAUTH2 with optional MFA) in line with Microsoft’s recommended practice, use the new OAUTH2 option in the BPA Platform Send Message tool.
