When is the Acompli Ios / Android Outlook going to be allowed?

Hi Kai,

We suggest that you post this issue on the TechNet Support on this link. This team is specialized and dedicated for the issue you are facing.

Regards.

TYVM - I'll do that.

Hi Kai,

Based on the error message, the admin of your organization may have set up some Exchange ActiveSync polices for managing mobile devices. For more information, please refer to Exchange ActiveSync policies for managing devices in Office 365. 

Note: there is an option to block all email apps except Outlook for iOS and Android and the Mail apps for Windows devices. See Enabling Outlook for iOS and Android in Exchange Online

Please check this with your admin and share the update with us.

Thanks,

Lance

Um, Lance. I appreciate you trying to help.

However, you may have missed the part of my original post stating, "My organization enforces email policy, such as encrypting email transmission end-to-end.  We use hosted outlook.office365.com and currently do not allow the Acompli based Ios and Android Outlook apps to connect. "

IOTW, yes, we block the two Acompli based apps because they do not conform with the secure transmission of cached email.  As stated here - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt684948%28v=exchg.160%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 - the app caches mailbox data in AWS and outside the Microsoft secure cloud of Outlook.Office365.com 

<quote>

For improved performance, a subset of email, calendar, and file data from each user's mailbox is cached in the Outlook service. Because the app is based on Microsoft's recent acquisition of Acompli, the service currently runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). We are moving the Outlook service to Office 365, and plan to have that move completed soon.

My question is then - when is MS going to update Acompli to not use AWS and instead use O365 email. 

Hi Kai,

Sorry for the late response.

I have done some research, and you can refer to conversation between Larrycl and MSFT engineers via the link below:

Thanks for your understanding.

As of today (July 13), Acompli is now fully Outlook and supports encrypted email, which allows my company to use it.
