How to protect/restrict access to work emails in native email clients?
Hi all, I'm starting with Intune and trying to figure out about how to restrict access or apply App policy to work emails when users already have their work account added to native email clients ...
- Hi
Nope... The native mail app isnt supported for app protection. so protection the data in it, isn't possible
You must combine them... Use App Protection to protect the data in outlook... and a conditional access rule to require approved apps. (android native mail app isn't approved and also app protection doesnt work)

So blocking access to make sure they need to start using outlook and use app protection on it... You have to start somewhere 😉

- Thank you for answer.... I've been testing it a bit furhter and when I applied App Protection and Conditional Access, it seems to be working like this:
-the native email client does not sync anymore with exchange so not receiving new emails
-I'm still able to do whatever I want with data from old work emails though
Is this the expected behaviour? I guess there is no chance apply App Protection policy to the older emails that were received in native email client (such as copy/paste, etc)?- Hi

Thank you Rudy.
