Don’t use “Outlook (new)” in #Windows 11. I just did a tcpdump and looked also at my #mail servers when setting up an account in there. The mail client only spoke with Microsoft-servers, never with my mail-servers and I saw on my mail-servers only connections from Microsoft-IPs.

@nielsk So would it make sense to block MS on submission and IMAP ports? What legitimate business could they have?

It sounds like they proxy all the connections so all the mail passes through their servers. I wonder how long they keep it? I guess everyone’s emails become grist for AI.

I wonder what their terms of service say about that?

@railmeat @unixtippse @nielsk 25 years ago this would have been treated as felony wiretapping.

It would be great if someone prosecuted them.

I would guess users agree to it in the terms of service. But who knows, no one has time to read that.
