Try <integer> instead, with 1 for True and 0 for False.

It doesn't seem to work.
But thank you anyway.

I've been looking into this stuff some, myself... Another thing I've learned is that Capitalization does matter for these keys... I'm not sure whether that'll be helpful, but worth a try!

Hey! I don't have any specific answers to your question, but I wanted to chime in and recommend you check out the MacAdmins workspace on Slack, specifically the #microsoft-office channel. This just seemed to me like the kind of thing that may have been asked there already by other admins. Good luck!

I think it is too late for an answer but I found out how jamf is handling booleans in the app config.
This example here should need no additional words (and yes, this is everything):

<key>com.microsoft.outlook.Mail.FocusedInbox</key>

    <false/>

Thank you for your answer.
It's not too late, i had giving up on finding a solution.
But sadly, it doesn't work either, i have an error "incorrect format".

Try this:

<dict>

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.EmailProfile.AccountType</key>

    <string>ModernAuth</string>

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.EmailProfile.EmailAddress</key>

    <string>$EMAIL</string>

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.EmailProfile.EmailUPN</key>

    <string>$EMAIL</string>

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.Mail.FocusedInbox</key>

    <false/>

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.Mail.OrganizeByThreadEnabled</key>

    <false/>

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.Mail.DefaultSignatureEnabled</key>

    <false/>

    <key>IntuneMAMAllowedAccountsOnly</key>

    <string>Disabled</string>

    <key>IntuneMAMUPN</key>

    <string>$EMAIL</string>

</dict>

This is the config I use.
The username will be logged in automaticly (Office365), focused inbox is disabled by default, so are the threadorganisation and the default signature. The layout also have to look like that or you will get the incorrect format error.

Is it possible to generate the configuration without intune? Just to configure staff email addresses and focused inbox as off ?
And maybe to add a shared mailbox ?

Yes it is. You can use the jamf appconfig generator to do this. Keep in mind that some of the entries made by the generator might be obsolete due to replacement wich can lead to some errormessages.
It makes sense to compare this attributes with the KB Article and delete every entry wich is not listed there.

Use this to disable the focused mailbox by default:

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.Mail.FocusedInbox</key>

    <false/>

and this to use the mailbox set in jamf:

    <key>com.microsoft.outlook.EmailProfile.EmailAddress</key>

    <string>$EMAIL</string>

There is no way to open shared mailboxes with the appconfig as far as I know.

Thank you Zamo !
I don't know what i did wrong ... but copying your config worked perfectly (I even made some modifications and it still OK).

Did anyone have issues in getting the user variable? For me, it is appearing as the variable name.

Thank you

I think it only uses the e-mailadress for that. So $EMAIL should work instead.

At least with Microsoft 365 they don't use any special usernames for variables as far as I know.

Is there a way to set outlook as the default mail app ?

As far as I know, only on the device itself.

Settings > Outlook > Standard-Mail-App

I've looked up for a global setting in jamf a while ago but haven't found any. Maybe they've added it since then.

Thanks Zamo, i cannot find a setting for it ‍♀️
