Connecting Outlook

Connect a Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com account to read, send, and thread email inside Loyva.

Connect your account

  1. Open Settings → My Preferences → Integrations or Settings → Integrations.

  2. Click Connect Outlook.

  3. Sign in with your Microsoft account and approve mail permissions.

  4. You'll land back in Loyva with the card marked Connected.

Token refresh

  • Outlook access tokens are short-lived. Loyva refreshes proactively:

  • In the UI: when the token has less than 30 minutes of life.

  • In edge functions (sending mail): when it has less than 5 minutes of life.

  • You should never see a token-expired error during normal use. If you do, click Reconnect.

Sending email

Compose and Reply send through your Outlook mailbox using Microsoft Graph (/me/sendMail). Messages appear in your Sent Items just like normal.

Differences from Gmail

Outlook uses folders (inbox, sentitems) instead of Gmail's labels.

Pagination, filtering, and search use OData ($filter, $top) under the hood - invisible to you, but useful to know when troubleshooting.
