Can anyone point me in the direction of a document that explains whether we are or are not allowed to connect the Exchange accounts on BADER to programmes such as MS Outlook (desktop) and the iOS Mail app?
There is no policy against, although the IM policy does talk about data being outside Bader wh Ch it would be in the PST for Outlook.
Easily stopped as a security profile pict could be applied to all accounts by the BADER team preventing connection.
Currently mobile connections require a PIN and by default gives the BADER team and you via OWA access the ability to wipe your phone.
If the access policy was changed Iâd hardly check my email currently on my phone and work PC.
Yeah I read that they could wipe your phone 
Bader Email? I have a folder on my iPhone which has bader in so saves me logging into it all the time as it remembers my log in
Why do you ask?
Because itâs causing issues with my log in, but my Wg BADER PoC wonât send it up the chain as he says that itâs not allowed to use those sort of programmes.
I do recall that there was a document explaining how to connect to Outlook 2010, so it is allowed.
However, that doesnât mean itâs supported - since you are in control of your PC not the bader help desk, is it extremely difficult to support and troubleshoot.
I would advise clearing cached credentials in the credential manager (google) and deleting your outlook profile and setting it up again.

Quite right. They provide details of how to do it, so to suggest that itâs not allowed is absolute rubbish.
I always use proper Outlook as the web app is utter [pick a word].
Using Outlook allows me to drag and drop with ease; display all my bader accounts in the same session; and makes saving emails to a document management system a breeze - again, I just drag and drop (once Iâve fixed peopleâs muck-ups on subject line format of course).
Can anyone provide some guide on how to add on Outlook 365?
I have never used 365 myself. But Iâm sure that there must be tutorials out there for how to add an Exchange account.
In Outlook 2010 I simply click âAdd Accountâ then enter the email address, click ânextâ and the rest is automatic.
I donât even have to tell it that itâs an exchange account. Outlook looks up the MX server, queries it, and sets up all the details automatically.
I just have to input the correct domain, username (since outlook tries to use the email address @aircadets.org as default), and password and it all goes smoothly.
The only fiddly step I have taken is to use a small program called Second Outlook (or something like that) which allows me to run a second separate instance of Outlook with a different profile.
That way I end up with two Outlook sessions and my personal accounts kept totally separate from my Bader accounts.
Some time ago - before I kept two separate profiles - I set up Outlook with my Bader accounts and found that it unhelpfully pushed all my personal inbox rules and calendar up to the bader server.
Pretty sure it canât be done. I have CadetMail in Outlook 365 as a âconnected accountâ, and I can choose who an email is âfromâ when I send it; incoming mail goes to a unified inbox. But Iâve never succeeded in connecting Bader mail; it fails authentication. I did ask this a while back and got flummoxed looks from the Bader team although this may have changed; fundamentally though I think they have switched off an option somewhere. Shame, as it would be more secure than people using Outlook 2010 and therefore having the PST cached locally in contravention of the SyOpsâŚ
You can of course set Outlook 2010 not to cache locallyâŚ
But that wouldnât give the advantage of still having access to existing mail when Bader thrown itâs nightly wobbly.
Interesting - never used it in the evening. Does it fall over when every squadron is parading by any chance, and all the staff get on it simultaneously?
Iâve used multiple Bader accounts on a couple of Outlok365 clients for years with no real issues except when the system has an occasional meltdown.
I can use it using the Samsung mail program on my phone (and the HTC one on my previous phone) perfectly well, but for some reason it actively rejects my attempts to use outlook for mobile on the same phone.
When you say Outlook 365 clients - do you mean Outlook clients?
Outlook 365 is the web client, not the desktop Outlook program. The latter is known to work.
I mean the Outlook desktop application of an Office365 subscription.
It is actually Outlook 2016 MSO
Works In exactly the same way as non 365.
Both work and home are licensed by 365 and have my Bader accounts no problem.
But⌠Outlook 2016 caches the PST file locally so is in breach of SyOps.
I donât know about later versions but 2010 certainly has the option to turn off that caching. Iâm sure later versions probably do as wellâŚ
Simply uncheck âUse Cached Exchange Modeâ
I wouldnât recommend it unless youâre in the same room as the exchange server
