And to clarify, I do use O365 email essentials through Bluehost. Occasionally my contact form (Contact Form 7) will stop working. I had to get an additional plugin to make it work again. This was about a year ago probably. Then, I just realized my contact form hadn’t been working again. Turns out something happened with that plugin and I had to get the Microsoft Graph mailer plugin. Then I have to log into Azure, get an application ID, and tenant ID, and create a secret.
I got it all working, but is there not an easier way? I feel like most normal people wouldnt know how to do this. Im no web developer, but I can google/YouTube my way around and eventually make things work. Is it just because WordPress/Bluehost is generally more for developers/tech savvy folks as opposed to Squarespace or something? It just seems crazy to have to do this just to make sure I am receiving emails from y contact form.
Some of this is my fault for not logging in/updating my website regularly enough. I should have caught the warning that the other plugin was about to expire and migrated to the new plugin before it went down.

O365 is for day-to-day email you send and receive from other people, not powering your website’s transactional email. Look into transactional email services like Mailgun and SendGrid. That’s what you want for reliable contact form notification emails.
