Portal Email Configuration

[davidyc]

I am looking to set up a mailbox which can act as a 'system' email for a Power Apps Portal. For example, I would like to use this email with the reset password process and new portal account registration confirmation email. 

I have looked at the advanced settings at the environment level for email configuration and mailbox settings. However my question is this, does an email account like this need to have a user license associated with it? If so, can it be a an existing user (such as mine as the system admin)? Or does there have to be a fully licenses power apps user set up for send email?

Help and guidance much appreciated!

@davidyc if you create a shared mailbox and set up with Queue, this will not require a licence. You can use any email id to send the password reset/confirmation emails. For that need to update the related process to use the Queue or User who can send emails. 

Ex.

I would (and do) use a Queue for these types of emails etc, just note, that whilst it does not require a Dynamics licence, you may still need a licence for the mailbox that it uses on Exchange (still a lot cheaper than Dynamics).
