    I work in government, and on mobile devices Outlook government accounts are restricted so that all other accounts have to be removed from the app.

    It sounds like a great security feature, but since I need access to 3 accounts for reasons, I’ve got one version installed on my city phone, one on my tablet, and had to install another on my personal phone.

    We’re budgeting in a second city phone for me next year because Outlook sucks.

      If this is Android look into enrollment which will use separate storage called work profile so you will essentially have 2 independent copies of Outlook. Or it might be possible to have second copy of Outlook depending on your Android flavour. Samsung has Secure Folder for example.

      And if these 3 mailboxes belong in same organization, you can utilize delegation and add them as shared mailboxes.

        Oh, I’ve tried the shared mailbox thing. I had it at my last city and it worked fine, but our third-party IT service contractor here is the shittiest I’ve ever heard of.

            They took 3 weeks to attach my new plotter to the network because they didn’t know how to figure out how to trace a fucking Cat 5 cable.

            We have 12 employees in the city. My home office has a more complicated network closet.
