+Some of the URLs required to use the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook are in different [Internet Explorer security zones](/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/platform-apis/ms537183(v=vs.85))(for example, Local Intranet Zone, Trusted Sites Zone, or Internet Zone.)
 
-When using Dynamics 365 App for Outlook within Outlook desktop, Internet Explorer is used to display the content and also redirect you to authenticate as needed. The different security zones may be using different integrity levels depending on whether Protected Mode is enabled for the zone. If the different URLs load with different integrity levels, it will prevent authentication from being passed successfully from your authentication URLs to Dynamics 365.
