    Note
    
    If your IT admin has configured a policy in Intune such that you should only be using the Outlook mobile app that’s available in the Intune Company portal to configure your emails, then you won’t be able to download and use the Outlook mobile app that’s available in the App Store. This is part of Mobile Application Management in Intune. In addition to that, you won’t be able to do the below things based on the policies which your IT admin has enforced.

1. A user tries to copy the content from his Office 365 mailbox and tries to paste it into his personal email account (i.e. Gmail, Hotmail etc..) and Intune restricts it.
   
   
2. A user tries to download an attachment from his Office 365 mailbox and tries to save it to his Drop box or personal OneDrive and Intune restricts it.

25. Once you’re done with installing the “Outlook” mobile app from the Intune company portal, please go back to the home screen and open the “Outlook” app.
    
    
    

26. Open the Outlook mobile app. You would be prompted to choose the email account which you want to setup. In my case, it prompts to add either of the two, Office 365 email account as well as my Hotmail account. I’ve chosen to configure Office 365 email account only as shown in the image below. In your case, you might only see your Office 365 email account.
    
    Note
    
    Even if you have added your Hotmail account, Intune will take care of only your Office 365 mail address and not your Hotmail account .
    
    
    

27. Once you’ve chosen your Office 365 email account, please give it some time and your mailbox will start downloading all the emails, contacts, and meetings etc. as shown in the image below.
    
    
    

28. You can also use some cool features like @mentions and focused inbox in Office 365.
    
    
    
    
29. In addition to this, you can also remotely manage your mobile device from your laptop or PC once it’s enrolled with Intune, by accessing the Intune Company portal site. In order to do that, please login to the below mentioned URL using your Office 365 UPN address and password.
    
    https://portal.manage.microsoft.com/
    
    
30. Once done, you should be able to see your Apple device which has been enrolled with Intune, as shown in the image below.
