So, is Microsoft's New Outlook App a Security Hazard?

Apparently, this app has been around for a long time branded as Accompli, but has only recently become more popular and high profile because Microsoft purchased the product and rebranded it as "Outlook."
I'm hearing it is a security hazard for corporate use, but Microsoft calling it Outlook makes it seem like it is intended for business use.
What are the real risks for domain users accessing their Exchange mail with this app for iOS and Android?
Since this is not even a new app, but has only become newly popular, I wonder what other similar mail apps are out there that have a lower profile and why Microsoft would release it before fixing these security issues?

yes,you can disable all phones not supporting active sync policy to be blocked.You find it under ECP - mobile - mailbox policy for mobile devices.
you can use this command to get all devices running new Android for Outlook app:
Get-ActiveSyncDevice | Where {$_.DeviceOS -match
"Outlook for iOS and Android 1.0*"}|
out-gridview
to view all devices:
Get-ActiveSyncDevice | out-gridview

Trouble with iCloud 2 factor authentication in outlook app

I am using 2 factor authentication on my iCloud account. I recently downloaded and setup Microsoft's new outlook app on my iPhone and iPad. I find it very useful for what I like to do. I added all of my email accounts as well as dropbox and other things with no issue (gmail, outlook, and dropbox have 2 factor enabled as well). I generated a passcode for iCloud on the 'manage apple ID' site. I inputted it into the iPhone first and it worked like a charm. Then, however, I did the same thing on my iPad. Initially, I generated a new passcode, and used that for the iPad. It worked, but then when I used the iPhone I got the message "We are having trouble accessing your account. Please login again." And it brings up the window to put in the passcode. I thought it might work if I used the same password for both the iPad and iPhone but the same thing happens. As soon as I put a passcode in one the other stops working.
Some more details in case it is relevant. I use outlook on the PC as well (also uses generated iCloud passcode), and it is unaffected. As I said, I use other accounts with 2 factor, and they all work fine on both the iPad and iPhone in the same app. I am using an iPhone 6 Plus and a 4th Gen iPad, both running iOS 8.1.3. I am nowhere near the maximum generated app passwords under iCloud. I am receiving an email each time I generate a passcode and it shows up in my history. I am giving the passcodes different names.

Hi,
You'll have to create an App-specific password to work around this.
Go to: https://appleid.apple.com/account/home
Select: Manage your Apple ID
Log in with your credentials and if applicable your Verification Code
Select: Password and Security
Select: Generate an App-Specific password
You'll have to give the app a name. You can use the generated password for Outlook. You can use the same password on all of your iDevices that has Outlook for iOS if applicable.
Have fun

Cannot save new outlook contacts or access Global Address List

I have outlook 2007 connected via VPN to exchange server. I can
1) Send and receive emails
2) Edit contacts that have already been created some time ago
3) Copy and paste existing contacts
However, when I try and save a new contact it says the Microsoft exchange server is not available. I am connected because I am showing as connected and contacts created via the outlook web app appear almost immediately in my Outlook. However,
I cannot save any edits to these but can copy and paste as a whole record.
Also, I cannot access the Global Address Book at all.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks
Zeze

Hi Zeze,
Please check whether the issue happens in Outlook Online mode. If it doesn’t happen in Online mode, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:

Outlook App and Exchange Routing Agent data interaction

I hope develop outlook Apps.the outlook app save some data, and send the mail , in exchange routing agent
, i want get the data.
I use Office.mailbox.item.CustomProperties , but the value don't save the receiver
mail， only save my outbox that mail.
the same question :https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/4fd6e26b-b712-416b-bc7c-7a8c14b257e1/outlook-app-and-exchange-routingagentfactory-some-issue?forum=appsforoffice#9f67a694-cf8f-498e-8dbe-b72fb991a041
how
to do , or have any good suggestions. thanks all.
Anything is Possible！

Hi Harvey,
>> I use Office.mailbox.item.CustomProperties , but the value don't save the receiver mail， only save my outbox that mail.
I think I have reproduced your issue. I created an app for office project, and used the code below:
<script>
// The initialize function is required for all apps.
Office.initialize = function () {
// Checks for the DOM to load using the jQuery ready function.
$(document).ready(function () {
// After the DOM is loaded, app-specific code can run.
var mailbox = Office.context.mailbox;
mailbox.item.loadCustomPropertiesAsync(customPropsCallback);
function customPropsCallback(asyncResult) {
var customProps = asyncResult.value;
var myProp = customProps.get("otherProp");
customProps.set("otherProp", "value");
customProps.saveAsync(saveCallback);
function saveCallback(asyncResult) {
alter("ok");
</script>
If I use this in the received mail, I could get the value of the otherProp which I set original in the same email. But if I create a new email, set the otherProp, and send it, after I received it, I could not get the otherProp.
I think we need to take some time to do some investigation.
Thanks for your understanding.

Edward

Syncing iCloud Calendar with Outlook for Mac (new Outlook)

Does anyone know if it's possible to sync your iCloud Calendar with Outlook for Mac yet (Outlook for Mac is the new Outlook that comes with Microsoft Office 365)? If so, how do you do it?
I've done some research on this question, and most of the responses are a few years old... wanted to see if anything has changed since. I find it weird how I can sync my iCloud Calendar with Outlook 2013 on my PC, but not with Outlook for Mac on my Mac--which is practically the same thing.
Thanks ahead of time!

Greetings kipp0606,
If you would like to use iCloud mail in an email client, you may want to review the following article. It contains the mail server settings you'll need to set it up:
iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
Use these mail server settings if you need to manually set up your email app (client) to use an iCloud email account.
Do you need these mail server settings?
You can use the mail server settings in this article to manually set up your email app to send and receive email with an iCloud email account. However, you shouldn't need to do that if you meet the iCloud system requirements and can use any of these setup methods:
OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later: Use iCloud Preferences.
Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later: Use iCloud for Windows.
iOS 7 or later: Use iCloud settings.
If you're using the Mail app in OS X Snow Leopard v10.6, use the mail server information in the iCloud Mail setup instructions for Snow Leopard instead of the settings below.Mail server settings
Refer to your email app's documentation for information about how to use these settings. iCloud Mail uses the IMAP and SMTP standards supported by most modern email apps. iCloud does not support POP.
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Transfer iPhone contacts & calendars to brand new outlook 2007

Someone gave me an iPhone 3GS as a gift, I pressed the reset button and used outlook 2007 & itunes to sync my contacts & calendars.
Everything on my iPhone is fine.
My contacts & calendars in Outlook 2007 were accidentally in wrong orders by importing a backup file in pst format(Outlook Format).
For future synchronization ,I am afraid that my iPhone contacts & calendars will be in wrong orders due to the changes in Outlook 2007.
Can I transfer my iPhone contacts & calendars to a brand new outlook 2007 (without any data & resetting my outlook 2007)?
If not,any other solutions?
The main reason of this discussion is to make my Outlook contacts & calendars in correct orders and my iPhone contacts & calendars will not be affected.
Hopefully I have a backup .pst file with correct data on my harddisk.
Hope you guys can help.
Thank you so much!

The Synchronization dons’ not affect the order of how information’s are displayed between outlook and iPhone IOS. It only affects the content of your contacts and calendars information’s.
However, if you want to synchronize to a brand new outlook (this mean new Mail profile), you should create a new mail profile to use with outlook. Always make a backup of your iPhone and outlook before you modify any settings.
To create a new profile, go to Mail setting in the Control Panel or Execute control mlcfg32.cpl from C:\Programs Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX from the Command Prompt to access Mail directly.
From here you can display the main profile which iTunes using to synchronize your information’s (Show Profiles… Button). This one called generally outlook, it is created automatically as you execute your outlook for the first time.
Then you have to create a new one using ADD button, as you finish choose Always use this profile then drop down the menu to select the new created profile. Apply the new setting and restart your outlook.
Now you suppose to have the new profile of outlook, this let you synchronize your information with nonfactual content.
You can go back to the old profile by choosing it as the default one from Mail setting. Be careful not to synchronize with iTunes when the default profile is set to the old one.
Remark: in the Mail setting “mlcfg32.cpl “ if you choose the following option (Prompt for a profile to be used) then every time when you open outlook it will prompt you to select the profile that you need to work within, the problem that when iTunes want to synchronize your content it can’t select arbitrary on of theses profiles and this will dysfunction, so it is preferred that you select (Always use this profile) option.

Import contacts from old outlook 2013 to new Outlook 2013

I recently had to get a new computer. I removed the boot drive from the old computer and installed it as drive F on the new computer. This worked great in recovering my large data files. However, drive F contains an instance of Outlook 2013
as does drive C. How do I copy to or import drive F's contact info to the new Outlook 2013 contacts? I do not need the old email messages as I already have gotten them from the email service provider.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to import contacts from old Outlook 2013 to the new Outlook 2013 please follow these steps: -
Collect Files from the Old Computer
First, you need the PST from your old computer. In most cases, they will be in the default location Outlook uses. To quickly access the default PST location outside of
Outlook, paste this line in Windows Explorer’s address bar:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Copy the Files to the New Computer
Now, you will copy the PSTs to the new computer. If you have several PSTs in the folder and are not sure which one is the one with your data, look at the file dates and
file sizes. If you have 265KB PST files, they are empty and don’t need to be moved.
Paste the following line into the address bar.
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
In this folder you will have the NK2, SRS, XML, outlprnt, and VBA project files.
Open the AppData Roaming folder using the following command and copy the NK2 file to the folder.
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook
Create a Profile
After the PST file is on the local drive, type mail in the start search field on the
Start menu or go to Control Panel, Mail then opens the profile dialog. (If you use the
Category view, mail is under the Users group; in Win 64-bit, Mail is under 32-bit application.
Click the Show Profile button.
Click Add to create a new profile.
Enter a descriptive name for your profile.
Enter the name you want to use for your display name, your email address, and your password.
Add Your Existing Data File (PST) to the Profile
If you have an Outlook data file PST, and you want to use with your new profile, then please follow these steps: -
Select the newly created profile, then click Properties.
Click Data files button to open Account Setting dialog to the Data files tab.
Click Add then browse to your existing PST file.
If the PST is a native Outlook 2003/2007 file type, choose the top entry for the Outlook Personal File. Click Ok.
Select your existing PST file.
You can enter a friendly name or just click OK to return the Account Settings dialog.
Click the Sets as Default button. Select the PST Outlook created when it created the profile and click Remove. If you want, click Open folder to find and deletes this PST.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Sharepoint 2013 (On-Premises): New Access Apps are corrupted after installation of language pack

Hi,
1) I installed the english version of SharePoint2013 Server.
2) I created a new Access App (after configuration of SharePoint Apps Environment), so it worked well.
3) I installed the german language pack for SharePoint2013 Server.
4) I created a second Access App ... and here the Problem has started:
4a) ... when I start the second Access App this view appears (you can see the broken icon for "Settings" in the upper left corner):
4b) ... when I customize the second Access App then all styles within Access 2013 are broken:
4c) ... but when I start (or customize) the first Access Web then everything works fine.
I've been logged in as Administrator all the time.
Has anybody a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance and greetings
Harald

this is the log (there is a 60.000 character restriction in this Forum) while clicking the Access App - it seems to be a rights issue (?):

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Neither direction seems to be working.
Does anyone have a solution?

Outlook app

Has anybody had problems with the new Outlook for iOS app?
it will not recognise my username and password for my iCloud.com account. A Yahoo mail account works perfectly with the app.
i Am using version 1.0.3

@Demo
Look at this user issue, have you experience this before? I have installed the outlook app, added similar accounts as hers and I was able to add the account successfully. Take a crack at it. Thanks!

Windows security always check failure when open new deployed app on Sharepoint site

Each time when I click new app which is deployed by VS2013, it will popup an windows security check form.When I using administrator account to login , it can't take affect.The check form will always be here because the account is not avaliable to this
app I think. I can use the account to do any operation in this sharepoint site, but just can't open this new developed app. Anybody know the root cause?

Hi,
Did you use the same account with the App creator(the account which deployed the app)? You can use the app creator to check whether it works.
Could the other accounts access the apps? You can use the other accounts to check whether it works.
To quickly and accurately find the issue, you can check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

How do you activate a 10.10.3 download. I have downloaded twice (2 gig each) and have restarted as instructed. I have also rebooted. "About this Mac' still reports 10.10.2 installed and I do not have the new photo app.

I have downloaded 1010.3 twice (2+gig each). The update window shows the 10.10.3 update has been installed, however, 'About this Mac' shows 10.10.2 installed and I don't have the new 'photo' app installed. Once more, the quality of Apple software approaches that of Microsoft - letting the user debug instead of delivering the quality that used to be Apple.
How do I activate the downloaded update.

There may well be a problem with the update package. I initially tried downloading the delta update (not the combo) from the Apple Support web site, and when I opened the package file, the installer ran but terminated almost immediately. I restarted and only got the normal reboot process, not the "Installing software" display. After restarting, I saw some evidence that the firmware updater was cleaning up some files, but nothing else appeared to have happened except that the 1.5Gb package file and a couple small subsidiary files had been left under /Library/Updates/_ManualUpdate.
I tried running the command line softwareupdate tool to see if it would recognize the already-downloaded package file (which is something you might also want to try before downloading again just in case it works), but no such luck. I then relented and used App Store, and that downloaded again and then performed the update successfully.
Of course, then I had to horse around with turning off all the "photos in the cloud" nonsense, but that's another story.

New Outlook profile causes iPod contacts to disappear during first sync

I'm hoping someone can help me here please? I have approx 150 contacts missing from my iPod.
The problems began with a corrupt windows profile in Windows Vista. Got the system back up and running with a new profile and copied the iTunes data directory to the same location on the new profile.
I also had to create a new Microsoft Outlook profile, of course there are no contacts in the new Outlook profile but at least they still exist on my iPod.
After some consultation with the local Apple store they said that the contacts should syncronise back to Outlook.
Wrong ... the opposite happened.
After plugging the iPod into the PC, iTunes started and the iPod started to backup and then sync. It uploaded a movie that was downloaded directly to the iPod and all seemed fine. Checked Contacts on my iPod and all have deleted. It appears the Ipod saw no entries in Outlook and it decided it had to appear the same ... I had no warning of deletion or changes before hand!!!!
Right, I have the backup before the problem sync. Now, posts about backups seem to say that it restores to as before the problem. When I run the restore utility it wants to wipe my iPod, download the latest OS and then I can pick the retore ...... I am now very wary as I've already had one screw up and really need to know if it will work as expected before continuing. Can anyone advise please?
Also, if the restore works and I have my contacts on the iPod how do I get them to Outlook rather than they delete.
Sorry for the long post.
Cheers

40 min international Call to america:
the iPod is unable to work with smart playlists.
Only solution: 'converting' it into a static playlist by removing the "update automatically" tick at the smart playlist's options.
too bad =(

iCloud only syncs iCloud calendars.
If there is an app for viewing outlook calendars then maybe it needs installing everywhere.

Hi All. Is anyone else having trouble with the Outlook App? I keep having to reboot the phone to establish connection to sync the email. I have it on push email and it worked fine with previous iteration of KitKat on Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. Any suggestions?
