- Login to "Office 365" Web App, Click "Settings" > Mail Under Your App Settings
- Go to Accounts > "Forwarding"
- You put the "Forwarding Id" here. Please mention " Forwarding Id" as per the below-mentioned image.

IMAP Support:
"IMAP support" helps to sync the sent emails from any of your business email accounts to your CRM email account. When you receive an email into the CRM, it automatically checks the “To” and “From” to determine whether any contact or customer is associated to that email id. If that is the case then the email can be viewed under the corresponding contact or customer.
