Today #EPFL made me a great present: making me understand that they don't give a SHIT about digital autonomy! So now:

- I uninstalled all MS software from my computer and smartphone:
- no mail on my phone anymore, as EPFL decided to block non-MS apps
- calendar barely working on my phone because of MS embrace, extend, extinguish
- I'll request to opt-out from WorkSpace One - why should I send all my data to the USA?

Thunderbird worked last year, from what I heard back then, as the only non-MS mail app. So did they disable that as well now? Ouch!

(I think I recall that K-9 was refused from connecting, but the virtually identical Thunderbird for Android had no problems. Which I found weird even then.)

@marcel Thunderbird still works - sorry for the confusion. All but 4 email clients have been blocked. First for "security reasons", then @cdengler pointed out last year that in the MS documents the whitelisting "should not be used for security reasons", now it is for "don't overload our support".
