Hi there


I am trying to configure a support email with my own domain and recieving this error message:


Error while verifying the mailbox imap details. Please verify server name, port and credentials


I am using Microsoft Office 365 and the default server settings are the correct ones (I double checked). The credentials are 100% correct so I really don't understand why am I receiving an error. 


The fact that I can't find where I can contact Freshdesk's support is EXTREMELY frustrating and I am seriously considering moving to Zendesk because of that.


Please advise.


Thanks,

Oren

Hi @Ivan_CRO and @sgutierrez,

 

This error occurs usually when IMAP or SMTP is not enabled in your O365 mailbox settings. You can follow the steps mentioned here to see if that fixes the issue.

  • Log in to O365 Admin Center using O365 admin credentials.
  • Go to Users → Active Users and click on the email address for which a custom mailbox is configured.
  • In the pop-up window that comes go to “Mail → Manage email apps”

 

  • In “Manage email apps” window ensure “IMAP” and “Authenticated SMTP” are enabled.

 

Refer to this article to get detailed insights on configuring custom mailbox for your helpdesk.

 

Once enabled, try reauthorising your mailbox from Freshdesk after few minutes and that should work. If the issue still persists, please contact us via support@freshdesk.com and someone from our team should solve it for you.

 

Cheers!
