Well that’s the thing. The new Outlook app is now the default email program on Windows. So you’ll have people setting up their Fastmail, Gmail, GMX and countless other mailboxes on it, just like they always have.

Except this time your password is being given to Microsoft, not just the email app on your computer.

I hope you changed your email account passwords after. What many people don’t realise is that when you fill out the “configure your email account” form, the details aren’t kept local to your PC. You are giving Microsoft the login details to your email account. This is a major departure from how Outlook and Windows Mail used to work.

So you’ve uninstalled the app, but how can you ensure they aren’t still polling your emails?

The Economist explains it well in their article Australia and Canada are one economy—with one set of flaws. The competition regulators in both Australia and Canada aren’t doing their job, allowing oligopolies to form.

It’s a type of endemic corruption and Transparency International should start calling it out.

The Chubby looks great, thanks for the pictures. A useful addition would be inline wheels on the lower back edge, so the case could be pulled like a suitcase within the airport — version V perhaps?

You did right. Always listen to your gut. It’s your subconscious trying to communicate missed warning signs to your conscious. Recommend reading The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker for lots of situations and examples.
