Whenever possible, choose the most secure options that your email infrastructure and client operating systems can support.

Email profiles provide a convenient method to centrally distribute and manage email settings that your devices already support. Configuration Manager does not add email functionality.

Identify, implement, and follow any security best practices that have been recommended for your devices and email infrastructure.

Privacy Information for Email Profiles

By default, devices do not evaluate email profiles. In addition, you must configure the email profiles, and then deploy them to users.

Before you configure email profiles, consider your privacy requirements.
