DESCRIPTION
Allows sending an e-mail through SharePoint Online or Microsoft Graph. Sending e-mail through Microsoft Graph requires the Mail.Send permission.
In October 2025, Microsoft will remove the API which is being used to send e-mail through SharePoint. It is therefore highly recommended to use the Microsoft Graph option listed above instead.
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1
Send-PnPMail -From "user@contoso.onmicrosoft.com" -To "recipient@contoso.com" -Subject "Test message" -Body "This is a test message"
Sends an e-mail using Microsoft Graph to one recipient. E-mail is sent from the user specified in the From parameter and can be sent to both internal and external addresses. A copy of the sent e-mail will be stored in the mailbox of the user specified in the From parameter.
