An employee needs to ensure that their work-related emails, calendars, and contacts are synchronized between Microsoft 365 and their Android smartphone. Which one of the following actions is the BEST approach to achieve this synchronization while ensuring it aligns with typical corporate security policies?
Install and configure the Outlook for Android app to connect to the Microsoft 365 account.
Configure only the incoming mail server using IMAP to synchronize the emails with the smartphone.
Use a third-party mail application that supports IMAP and SMTP protocols to add the Microsoft 365 account.
Manually set up the account using Exchange ActiveSync protocols through the phone's built-in email client.
By using Microsoft's Outlook app, the synchronization process with Microsoft 365 is done securely and efficiently, as it is designed to work seamlessly with Microsoft's email, calendar, and contact services, and often aligns with corporate security policies that may include remote management features and encryption. A third-party mail app may not always adhere to the corporate security policies, as it could lack certain security features or data handling protocols. Enabling only IMAP would synchronize emails only and not calendar or contact data. Lastly, manual setup using Exchange protocols could work but isn't recommended over the Outlook app, as it is more complex and error-prone.
