Before you begin

Blocking access to an Exchange server requires an Exchange server connection. To establish an Exchange server connection, complete the steps in Microsoft Exchange Server Configuration first.

The Microsoft Outlook app does not support the following steps. Android users must use the native Gmail app. Likewise, Apple users must use their native Mail app for iOS (macOS is not supported).
