I have a subscription to Office 365 Home. I need to add Visio. I signed up for a trial Visio account, but that created a new 365 Business account. Is there a way to link my two accounts so I only have a single 'onedrive'? Alternatively, can I change my Home account to a Business account and add Visio to that? Is there another solution? Microsoft 365 is a subscription that includes the most collaborative, up-to-date features in one seamless, integrated experience. Microsoft 365 includes the robust Office desktop apps that you’re familiar with, like Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
By default, WordPress uses PHP mail to send website form submissions.
This function usually works fine if your website server hasn’t been blacklisted for spam. If you are on a shared server that has been blacklisted for spam, emails may not get through. This means you will need to use a dedicated email account for the site + SMTP to ensure form submissions, WooCommerce order emails etc, are sent and received.
Using O365 for sending form submissions
When someone completes a form on your website, the website attempts to send the submission via an email. If your domain is using O365, the email will be flagged as spam by Office 365 because it hasn’t come from an authenticated email account or approved server machine for the domain.
How do we fix it?
As your IT person to help you with the following:
- Create an email account for the website to use. Example: submissions@mydomain.com.au
- Add an SPF record to the O365 DNS server to authenticate email from the site server IP.
- Add the web hosting server IP to the whitelist.
- Use SMTP settings in the website.
SMTP Settings
I prefer to use PostSMTP plugin to enable my WordPress site to send via SMTP.
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and authenticates emails sent from the website.
Use the settings below to set up configure Office 365 SMTP with the PostSMTP plugin.

Contact Form 7
The final piece in the puzzle is to check the form in your website. In this instance I am using Contact Form 7.
- Click Contact / Contact Form
- Click the Mail tab.
- In the from field ensure you remove the default email account.
Change this <www.wordpress@mydomain.com.au> to<submissions@mydomain.com.au> . This is the O365 email account you created for sole use by the website.
Save and test. Good luck!
If you have a home computer or mobile device that you wish to use your new Office 365 account on, you may do so.

Can I use One Drive on my home PC?
Yes, OneDrive is an included application with the Office 365 installation. On a non-UCI connected device, OneDrive will operate in a read-only capacity. This means that there will be no synchronization of data between your device and UCI servers. If you wish to add a file from your home PC to your OneDrive account, you will need to manually upload them via the OneDrive web-app linked below.
