HostEurope, a formerly European web and e-mail hosting provider acquired by GoDaddy in 2016, just informed its customers that it will move their IMAP folders and everything e-mail to Microsoft's MS365 offer.

This move does not only incur additional fees for many customers – it also raises privacy concerns.

@switchingsoftware I was a decade-long customer there until they moved the vservers to france in october 2015. I was a huge fan before that, I recommended them to at least four people who became customers.

When the GoDaddy acquisition was announced in 2016 I was *so* glad that I had dodged that particular bullet early.
