At one point, Hotmail tried to turn off the delete action for sufficiently

whether the system is correctly classifying your traffic or not, I cannot say.
But the behavior is not unexpected in certain scenarios. Which one of them
applies to you, I cannot say. Even if I wanted to! But I really have no idea,
and no way to find out.
This "Delete" action is a well-known mitigation that is not unique to Hotmail.
I directly dispute the "well-known" part.
I am curious to know whether this policy, justified or not, is clearly
explained to users who sign up to the services that implement them
during the sign-up process. Cause when I tell my customers,friends and
strangers about this "well-known" "mitigation" strategy, they look at me
like I just landed in a huge, music-playing flying saucer, without
exception.
Somehow I think that if users were told clearly "we'll flood you with
ads and log/process/sell your data, cause this is our business model.
We will also silently drop some of your mail, btw" use of these services
would decrease. Most definitely businesses at the very least would not
be using them.
Maybe we should push back against idiots instead of accommodating them.
I really would like to see the complaints of the users who want their
mail to be "mitigated" by deletion... It must make a fun evening reading
them.
