- Select the The SMTP server requires authentication checkbox and provide valid user credentials.
- In the From field, specify the address for a notification sender.
- In the To filed, specify the address for a notification recipient.
To specify multiple addresses, use semicolon.
- By default, a notification Subject will be as follows: [%JobResult%] %OrgName% - %JobName% (%MailboxCount% mailboxes), %Issues% issues.
Where:
- %JobResult%. A backup job result (Success, Warning, Failed).
- %OrgName%. An Office 365 organization for which the job was configured.

By default, system notifications are sent every time a backup job completes its sessions with any of the following states: Success, Warning and Failure. To turn off unwanted notifications, clear the corresponding checkboxes.
To attach a detailed report to an email, select the Attach a detailed report checkbox. Mind that such a report is only sent if contains more than 1000 users.
