Q: How to enable Office 365 Direct access to corporate mail?
A: Speaking Email has special features to enable support for Microsoft Office 365, via several connectors. The primary we call Office 365 Direct.
Depending on your Azure AD policies you may need to have Azure tenant admins provide permission to access corporate email. In this case a Microsoft screen will appear saying "Need admin approval".
To do this, your Azure admin can either add from the Azure App Gallery under Enterprise Apps, or grant permission via consent links.

You should be directed to sign in to the Azure portal under the correct user account and then see a prompt similar to the following.
