Block all 365 apps except Outlook via CA
The new resource-based condition is still maturing and doesn’t yet offer a simple way to include everything except Exchange. The easiest approach is to stick with the existing **Cloud apps** condition for this scenario. You can create a conditional access policy that targets your BYOD user/device group, include **All cloud apps**, then under *Exclude* add **Office 365 Exchange Online**. Set the policy to *Block* and it will block access to all Microsoft 365 services except Exchange/Outlook.
If you want to scope this to unmanaged devices only, use the **Device state** or **Filter for devices** condition to include only devices that are not compliant or hybrid joined. App Protection Policies will help protect data but won’t stop sign-in to other apps. Until the resource model supports more granular filters, the legacy cloud app exclusions are still the recommended way to allow Outlook while blocking the rest.
