I find that beyond the :

- security risks
- privacy concerns​
- inability to troubleshoot connection issues
- being exposed to MS outages
- inability to optimize routing for global customers

there is also the glaring fact that MS is a competitor in this space.
What stops them 12 months from now from simply saying: Your provider
doesn't support Modern Auth ( there is still no agreed-upon standard
in fact ) - switch to MS365 for a better experience ?

The whole thing seems very anti-competitive to me.

It seems MS is pushing really hard for the 'NEW' Outlook adoption.
This software, along with Outlook Mobile and myMail (mail.ru),
etc, cache logon information on their own infrastructure and then
basically proxy the connection to the service provider. This makes it
impossible for service providers to do any kind of security checks,
not to mention I'm sure it breaks all kinds of privacy regulations.

Curious what everyone's thoughts on this practice is and how you deal
with it.

Cheers,
