#outlook

As if I didn't already know it, #Microsoft customer support has proven to be useless. I requested an export of my #Outlook (.com, not the desktop app) email account over a week ago. The page said it'll take up to four days. I contact support and they tell me that exporting online isn't supported. Why offer it then‽

So I downloaded #Thunderbird, connected to my account and have synced my inbox. Currently exporting it using an add-on.

Next job after that is to import it to my new @Tutanota inbox, then cancel my Outlook subscription.

The #Copilot in #Outlook saga continues..

  • I changed my "group policies" (see link in first post), and it seemed to work - removed the Copilot button.
    ... but... it came back the next day!

  • I switched back to "old outlook". Looks old and inconvenient but at least it didn't have the Copilot button.
    ... but... a few days later.. It came back! Even in Old Outlook!

Looks like I have to find another #EmailClient altogether.
So... are there any privacy-oriented email clients out there that do not force genAI on their users? (And also that work on Win10)
What about #Thunderbird ? Please tell me it doesn't have " AI" 🙏

Edit: thank you for the answers so far! I am trying out Thunderbird with the "Owl" extension to use the Exchange protocol (for work emails..). Working fine to see emails but not so much for sending them (so far)..

If you woke up to find #Outlook for Mac has updated and it's autocompleting your sentences as you type, Microsoft's own advice (Settings->Autocorrect) is completely wrong. You're going to want to turn this setting off.

Am I becoming crazy? The Copilot toggle is OFF in this screenshot, right? If so, why is there still a Copilot icon on the top right? How do I get rid of it??

(this is in #Outlook for Win10)

Edit: the (temporary, because I already did it once a few days ago and Copilot is now back) solution is to follow the instructions for editing group policies here: pureinfotech.com/disable-windo (Method 2 for Win 10).

Microsoft has become outright hostile to detractors as well as anyone the U.S. government wants it to target. I can think of no bigger red flags than this.

Please strongly consider parting ways with them if you’re able.

New uBlock Origin rule to clobber the intrusive "Copilot" button that recently appeared in Outlook web mail:

! Jul 25, 2025 https://outlook.office.com
outlook.office.com###CopilotCommandCenterButton

Note: there should be three (3) pound signs between ".com" and "CopilotCommandCenterButton". For some reason my fediverse server does not display all three.
