They can leech all the data they want from my employer. I don't give a fuck. Never use company assets for personal business as an addendum.

Just be a little more careful with your own stuff, s'all.

Why is your corp using the free mail app in windows??

Let me introduce you to https://davmail.sourceforge.net/

Yes it works pretty fine with stupid O365. You can basically use whatever mailclient you desire with it.

pretty sure when you bring that up to your company, that another company will have access to internal communication, that they will do something against it. It's a willing data breach.

The new thunderbird UI looked neat and modern.

I've been using Thunderbird since forever. It's not perfect but I like it better than bloated and laggy Outlook.

I've been paying for mailspring for a few years now, and I love it. It has touch and gesture support, is open source, and is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

Its paid plan includes some nice features like email tracking - which you can't really get from just a simple client and (needs a server to track who has opened an email and when) - and id lookup, for things like quickly seeing the LinkedIn profile of a sender not in your contacts list.

Definitely my favorite desktop client by a wide margin, and one I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Edit: Just to be clear, it's available for free as well.

What especially galled me was as I was updating my laptop before flashing to Linux the new outlook will not work unless edge installed, I had just uninstalled that pile of garbage.

Ah well, at least pop_os works great 😃

I really liked the mail app, the outlook one sucks

If you aren’t using an insider edition then Notepad is still safe

I use Outlook on my work Mac, and am forever amazed at how hard they pushed on getting me to switch to "New" Outlook, but how many features they never bothered to port over. Like, I can't export my mailbox without having to switch it back to 'old' Outlook. Calendars straight up don't work half the time and there's no obvious button to switch from a list of events for the month, back to a monthly calendar view.

Outlook for Mac is a fucking mess. I really do need to switch over to Thunderbird.

Mail was so clean thunderbird isn't as nice

Thats what i thought but holy shit its so much worse.

Its not even data that is needed for outlook but like pretty much everything on your pc.

including your username and password, send in clear text

I agree with the article’s statement. How the fuck is this legal.

For consumers, yeah they scan your shit to sell advertisements to you. For Business customers —that could get real illegal real quick.

I don't use proton so forgive me if this is a stupid question...

But do you need an app? Can't you just use whatever browser you want for their services?

FOSS friendly company

I'm not sure what you are smoking but you're high as balls dude. If there is any company that has as it's motto "fuck and destroy open source" and as slogan "fuck everything for money", then it's Microsoft.

Microsoft paid SCO to make false claims against Linux in an attempt to destroy Linux and extort large companies away from Linux. The destroy part failed, but they got multiple large companies to steer away from Linux. Normal people would go to jail for that, Microsoft execs not so much.
