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.
No. A year or two ago they did a big redesign and added a lot of functionality. Of course, whenever you have changes to a software there will be some stuffy old dudes crying about it. So everywhere you look there are people who are upset because the interface is different from what they were used to even though it is way more modern and much more useful, and better for users - especially new users.
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’.

Microsoft is EEEing the Fortune 500.
What is eee?
Embrace Extend Extinguish
As is Mailspring
Really? I’ve heard it kinda sucks these days. I used to use it years back though and am a big Firefox supporter.

Appreciate the insight, thanks
I have only used it briefly but it seems decent at first glance. On par with any other major client (MacOS mail, outlook etc)
Though I tend to only read email on my phone, these days. That’s why I haven’t used it much.
I recently switched to it from Outlook and while it lacks some of the features of Outlook, it’s not a bad replacement.
It has been working great for me for years. I do turn off automatic updates because occasionally they release a buggy version, but it gets fixed.
the recent changes to thunderbird are welcome improvements. you should give it another shot.
