What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, with source markup removedWe're introducing a new Intune policy that allows admins to define the priority order for SMIME certificate lookup in Outlook mobile. This gives organizations more control over how certificates are selected when multiple sources are available, improving flexibility and alignment with internal security practices. When this will happen: This change will begin rolling out on August 29, 2025. How this affects your organization: You're receiving this message because our reporting indicates that one or more users in your organization may be using SMIME in Outlook mobile. With this update, administrators can configure a new Intune policy to control the order in which SMIME certificates are retrieved from different sources. This policy is off by default. If not configured, Outlook mobile will continue using the default lookup order. [What you can do to prepare Once the policy becomes available, you can configure it using the following key: Key: com.microsoft.outlook.Mail.SMIMEEnabled.CertificatesLookupOrder Type: String Accepted Values: 0 (Contacts) 1 (GAL) 2 (Device) 3 (LDAP) Format: "X", "X, X", "X, X, X", or "X, X, X, X" Default (if not specified): "0, 1, 2, 3" Example: "3, 2, 0, 1" To learn more about configuring SMIME settings in Outlook mobile with Intune, visit: Deploying Outlook for iOS and Android app configuration settings in Exchange Online.
