The old outlook was just perfect, the new one is positively abhorrent. I swear if they force one more app to me I’m going to purposefully stop using it altogether
I don’t know about sharing passwords, but I know that if you have an Exchange server on premises (meaning you have mailserver on your own infrastructure maybe somewhere in the building) because you don’t want to have your data in the cloud - Outlook for mobile (both iOS and Android versions) has been sending all your data through M$ servers anyway, don’t know for how long - quick search returned a 3 year old reference - imo much longer. There are “benefits” that I may be too dumb to understand:
On iOS you can go around and use the default “Mail.app”. On Android I haven’t found a good app that would work with EWS - I’m using K-9 over IMAP which isn’t great.
Have you tried Nine mail? https://www.9folders.com/en/index.html
It costs some money to continue using it/unlock all features, but that’s a one time fee (assuming that it hasn’t changed).
I can’t use it anymore as IT has disabled all support for 3rd party mail apps. Was the best exchange mail app I ever found (it actually supports the categories using which I’ve organised my mail).
I (and my colleagues on iOS) have no choice but to use outlook mobile as the Apple mail app and everything else is blocked due to GDPR.
Thank you for this. I’ve been testing the Nine app for a week now and I am sold 👍 Some users do complain that the app “isn’t as good as it used to be” - but luckily for me I don’t know - and it’s the best one I’ve seen anyway.
It’s ok Microsoft are very sorry you found out
Mailbox.org doesn’t allow you to sign up at this time. Is this… getting teary eyes lemmy… having impact on the webs?
They block countries that originate a lot of spam from signup, which includes the US @smokedclover@feddit.de. You can use a VPN to signup, though I did have to reach out to support at one point very early on to finalize some provisioning. I don’t know if it was related to the geo-blocking, it’s been awhile. But I’ve had no problems since.
I don’t see how this is any different from adding another e-mail account on gmail.
The program it replaced didn’t do this, hence the surprise. You could be using the old program, and one day windows update it with this new program, and suddenly your passwords are uploaded to Microsoft cloud service when you launched it. People would similarly surprised if K-9 mail upcoming replacement, Thunderbird mobile, suddenly store your password in the cloud.
Why is someone using Outlook to sync a different email address?
Why not keep the apps separate? Or use the Mail app built into Windows?
Seriously, someone explain the use case here because I don’t understand. If you’re using an outlook account, MS already has all that stuff. And if you don’t have an Outlook account, why are you using Outlook?
Or use the Mail app built into Windows?
So the gist is the default mail app is being “upgraded” by Microsoft to Outlook for Windows app, so your account credentials previously stored in the mail app now got uploaded into the cloud.
