Thunderbird is a great alternative to Outlook.
And when they figure out how to serve ads on IMAP, you can take thunderbird to another provider.
I don't think it'll actually come to that, due to popularity, but I can see them blocking IMAP access on new accounts due to 'security'.
Exchange was always the EEE to standard mail/calendar protocols. They have a path towards that.
They’ve already moved Active Directory to the cloud, they’re normalizing “Microsoft owns your accounts, even business ones”. All the content on Teams lives on Azure, and I believe SharePoint is doing the same.
Microsoft is EEEing the Fortune 500.
What is eee?
