New MS Outlook - 'All your emails and passwords R now belong to us!'
Even if you use a third party email provider such as Gmail, Outlook will now copy everything to Microsoft cloud servers.
Most folk don't give a second thought to digital privacy, but what of corporate users - will this development be acceptable to them?

@faduda A good question, to which I do not know the answer. The only viable, secure and actively developed alternative for Windows users is probably Thunderbird. I use it on my Linux PC.
@hesgen The corporate accounts will mostly already be in the Microsoft cloud, surely?
And if people hook their employer-provided Outlook into their personal email accounts so they can read their personal email on work computers without having to faff around with webmail then ... they've probably already got in their Ts&Cs that the employer can read it.
@TimWardCam Some will be hosted on Exchange accounts, but others will be on self-hosted domains.
@hesgen How many government institutions across the EU use Outlook? Where will all that data be stored? Has MS done a privacy impact assessment?
