Hello,
Is there any official word or pointers which confirms that Modern Authentication is not compatible with Android native mail app ?

- Has anyone found any documentation for this? I see this is a fairly old thread. July 2022 and I still can't some up with Microsoft documentation in a simple google search telling me the requirements for modern auth on mobile devices or what Microsoft supports.
I'm just trying to answer a question to myself on what options I will give my users once I go to managing everyone's personal BYOD in Intune. What is better, Intune Device enrollment, or MAM and are the other native mail apps MAM aware? If we force people to using Outlook, I need to have the answer as to why since I have a picky user base. I just can't seem to find a good answer.- you can tell to the business that using Outlook mobile apps:
1. the only mobile apps that support sensitive labeling (private, confidential, public, etc)
2. it automatically support modern authentication so you dont need to worry about basic auth
- By native mail app do you mean Gmail?
I haven't found any official documentation, but Modern Auth in Gmail is supported from Android 9.0- Not gmail. What I meant was the default mail app on Android phones.
- The default mail app differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. What brand are your phones?
Samsung's Mail app supports modern auth
- AFAIK, the native andriod mail app is not supported for modern authentication (MSAL). I could not find the official document or may be my search is not that great but i found this https://help.duo.com/s/article/3476?language=en_US
