GPO Set mail to keep offline for an IMAP account

Question

Good morning,

I am looking to create a policy that define the mail interval to keep offline for an IMAP account.

I found in the registry the DWORD value "IMAP months to sync" in "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook\9375CFxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx6676\0000000x"

How to apply a 1 month retention period for all users?

The goal is to reduce the space used by OST files.

Thanks,

Cedric.

The goal is to reduce the space used by OST files.

Hope to help you!
