Message ID: MC922623
We are changing how you enable or disable the new Microsoft Outlook for Windows and Microsoft Outlook for the web.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out late January 2025 and expect to complete by mid-February 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
We’re changing the OWAEnabled parameter that enables or disables access to user mailboxes using Outlook for the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App or OWA) to block only Outlook for the web and to not affect the behavior of new Outlook for Windows.
You can manage new Outlook for Windows with the OneWinNativeOutlookEnabled policy.
You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates one or more users in your organization may be using the New Outlook for Windows.
Note: We will not change any existing value for the settings, but we will change which setting is checked to see if new Outlook for Windows is allowed to run on that computer. Before this rollout, both OWAEnabled and OneWinNativeOutlookEnabled policies are checked. After this rollout, we will remove the check for OWAEnabled so you can have the chance to enable new Outlook and still disable Outlook for the web if desired.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your admins about this change and update any relevant documentation.
After this change takes effect, please confirm the OneWinNativeOutlookEnabled policy state for each mailbox. The default value is Enabled.
