I don't know about rooted but Microsoft's Exchange App on Android demands that it becomes a device admin so it can remotely delete everything on your phone if your company desires. There is an app called MailWise[0] that will allow you to get around that though. I did this as my company pays for my phone nor my service yet demands I install their email on my personal device.

- RHSeeger 10y agoMy wife had a similar problem at work a while ago. Policies changed and the company required the ability to wipe her phone in order to get email on it. She basically told the company that, if they wanted her to have access to email/calendar on her phone (given that requirement), they would need to provide her with a company phone. She went for a couple months without access to email/calendar (when not at the computer) and then they provided a company phone. Giving your company (or anyone) total access to your personal phone is insane. Your phone, with access to your email, is effectively a master key to your life. Through it, they have the ability to do almost anything to you (reset your bank password and take all your money, etc).
- swiley 10y agoAt my university this is the only officially supported way to access your email on Android, that was pretty horrifying when I was a freshman (so much so that I went without email on my phone for the entire first semester.) If you hunt around enough though you can find the parameters needed to use IMAP.
