Hi AMA! Conditional Access Policies in Azure AD allows to choose "Other Clients" when blocking Legacy Auth in advance to see an expected impact, but you can't just disable IMAP and POP and leave SMTP open. Is there a way to create a CAP in advance so that we can block Basic for IMAP and POP only without impacting SMTP?

Hey Massimo, you can also use Auth Policies to do this - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-authenticationpolicy?view=exchange-ps You can set up a policy to block just POP and IMAP if you want to. You can also do this in Microsoft Admin Center - Org Settings, Modern Auth, the checkboxes there.- mmattanaOct 13, 2021Brass ContributorGreat! I think this addresses both questions 🙂 Thank you!

In that case I'd suggest getting into the Azure AD Sign In Logs and looking for usage. Or just setting an Auth Policy - and waiting to see what happens... 😉
