Just a little technical background: Exchange servers and Office365 support multiple wire protocols. Which protocols are enabled varies per domain (and possibly per user) and is determined by the administrators of the domain, even on Office365. * EWS * IMAP * ActiveSync * OWA (Outlook Web Access) Owl supports OWA (hence the name), EWS, and ActiveSync. This is what the "account type" property does: It creates the Owl account with the right account type for one of these protocols, which determines which wire protocol Owl will use.
