With just a few steps, we can get this setup!
Step 1: From the Azure Portal go to Intune –> Clients Apps –> App configuration policies and click Add
Step 2: Give the configuration policy a name and description. Select Device Enrollment type, my preferred method is to use Managed apps, because this will deploy the policy to both enrolled and unenrolled devices. Select the Outlook apps on Associated app, and go to Configuration settings.
Step 3: This is the step where it gets cool. Here you can configure the settings for office 365. You can configure this with your own settings.

| com.microsoft.outlook.EmailProfile.ServerHostName | https://outlook.office365.com/ |
