Hi, does anyone have any tips or recommendations on my question involving support for the new Outlook?
Hi Alex.
Sorry I know it isn't the answer you're hoping for, but my tip would be avoid New Outlook altogether.
I was horrified to find that New Outlook uses a cloud service to download emails, which I discovered because I use geo-blocking on IMAP access, and New Outlook wasn't able to connect. It turns out that the Outlook New client (that was running within my network) was attempting to download the emails from a different country. Makes you wonder what Microsoft are doing with your emails doesn't it?
I haven't read the fine-print on New Outlook license terms and conditions, but for me this was a show-stopper. The whole reason I run my own email server is to maintain sovereignty over my data.
Nick.
