        In general, you just tell them to use your new address, change your online accounts, etc. and for the transition phase, you either forward or, like I did, just have both accounts in your mail app until you’ve reached everyone who needs the new address

          I’ve been working on this for a month or two now, just steady as she goes. It’s a daunting task but worth it in the end IMO.

          Also, you can use proton unlimited or SimpleLogin with your own domain and you get unlimited random email addresses for accounts/email lists. it’s a little more work but being able to know where the crap that ends up in my mailbox is from is priceless.

          I hate that it’s not possible to change your email address easily (or even at all) with some services. Tell me your website backend sucks without telling me your website backend sucks.

          The crazy thing is it’s not even banking or finance websites that are ass backwards (as you would expect), it’s other random sites that just for whatever reason don’t have a proper account management.

            This is why you should use your own domain. If you want to change who’s handling your email, you just change your DNS MX record to a new, different host and all your mail ends up there instead. The services don’t have to know a single thing about what’s going on - the next time they send an email out, DNS will simply resolve to the new mail server.

            Here is an example of how you would do it with Proton

    Thats gross. Just no. Use thunderbird or some other FOSS email client, at least outlook is somewhat limited with its spyware BS when you get mail through IMAP

    Im tired of telling windows people something they already know. Its your choice to use a completely corporate cucked operating system for your personal computing, you don’t get to clutch pearls and act suprised over it being complete spyware, or whenever microsoft decides it wants to erode your user experience just a little bit more because they can.

      God can you imagine.

      768 collapsed areas for each one. You have to expand that area and click the small slider with a 3 second UI freeze each time you do.

      Then at the end when you click apply, you get a spinning wheel with “Applying your choices” that seems like it has timed out.

        But half of them have a web link to go to another website’s main page, in order to manually find the overall 3rd party opt out, which it may or may not remember on the next site you visit that uses it, but you can’t tell so you better do it again anyway next time.

        Even I get partway through and I wonder if I’m not getting too old for this internet shit. I guarantee most people are not bothering.

    Fun fact! If you have outlook on your phone with a work account added, chances are IT has admin access to your phone and can remotely wipe it at any time. Also means that your phone can be collected as evidence if you or the company is involved in a court case possibly related to emails

      Just put your work apps in your Work profile.

      That’s exactly why Android has this function, so they can only remotely access/wipe that profile. Everything in that profile is kept segregated from the rest of the system.

        To reset a password for work. Apparently eHub doesnt work on Firefox, it has to be edge or chrome. Called the Help Center and they asked if I was using chrome and I said no Firefox. “You don’t uh…have anything like chrome on your phone?” “no, I might be able to access a work computer with chrome but I’m not putting a chromium browser on my device” (it’s there because android, but all its permissions are cut off)

        She just had to sit on hold while I logged on on a work computer to reset everything where if they just fucking made a webpage to work on Firefox we could have not had the conversation in the first place.

          Doesn’t that create an isolated admin environment I don’t think it gives me access to their personal stuff.

          Also not part of Outlook, adding a work email to a private device doesn’t register it to the admin environment

            If you set up intune correctly (and its a requirement) you can prevent access to the entire of m365 including outlook unless they register their device and you can use allow lists for users who are approved to use their own devices, or just block them full stop while allowing company phones access.

            If yours isn’t requiring registration, then its not setup to do so, you can very much enforce it, this is usually done via conditional access requiring that the device is registered before it can get access.

            Often admins also forget to block web access from mobile devices, but that’s also blockable via the conditional access settings (and other ways, but conditional is how I would do it). Its not perfect as its using the user agent, which can be spoofed. Personally if the client needs that level of protection then web access should just be blocked for non company devices.

            You can enforce that the company is added as a device manager, that’s usually how the device wipe is enforced. Access to personal data isn’t really what you are granting here, it is the ability to remote wipe the entire device.

            Its a proper device management system with a ton of options. You can for example force users to only use an approved list of applications on their own device for company data.

              There are ways around this. I run Outlook inside of a sandbox, so you can remote wipe the sandbox, but the rest of the phone isn’t accessible to anything in the sandbox even with “device admin” permissions.

                There are ways around most things, but you’ll have to define this sandbox on your mobile as a lot of these can be prevented with the right additional product, obviously Microsoft being Microsoft isn’t going to give this away.

                Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s how our system sets it up, but it’s supposed to be set up like that not as a workaround, I feel super duper sketchy about wiping it uses personal device. When they leave the company that’s the only section of the device we wipe.

                There’s only like a couple of dozen uses on the account that actually use their personal devices. Mostly just the have IT staff and a few managers who need to be emergency contactable.

          This is device management and isn’t something that is the default, or comes with Outlook.

          A less intrusive method is application management which gives the company control to wipe the account, not the device.

    It’s a wonder how Outlook and Exchange Server are used by most companies, many of which have sensitive confidential and proprietary data. Choosing Microsoft is all about having someone to blame for your security problems, not achieving secure communications and storage.
