So, if I’m not wrong, this allows me to:
1. Block Outlook Web App access on mobile
2. Block Outlook App access on mobile
3. Block Native Mail App access via Exchange Active Sync (Can they still use IMAP or POP for this?)
4. Allows them access to Outlook Web App on a PC.

It seems to be my ideal situation.keshavadmin An alternative approach would be to use Sensitivity Labels and DLP policies to block the access to sensitive information while providing access to other information. This would be a much better user experience and would provide many other benefits.
- Access to IMAP/POP are managed through EAC the same as the other protocols -- enable/disable as you wish. The only thing to note is #4 (and #5)...as I understand it, if you disable Outlook Web App, it prohibits the user from opening Outlook via a browser, regardless of whether or not it's Mobile or Desktop.
