Outlook app doesn’t adhere to ActiveSync password requirement policies and stores your e-mail and credentials on outside servers (supposedly to speed up delivery). In fact, the app is now being actively blocked by some companies and governmental agencies

I’m an active user of Outlook App. I probably don’t really care about ActiveSync because the email provider like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail and etc… don’t really need ActiveSync to work. The irony of this whole thing is that, Microsoft invented ActiveSync and now they probably try to run the other way round.

ActiveSync is for corporate organizations, we cool people don’t need another headache setting up an email. If I’m not mistaken, Google may or may not support ActiveSync these days. They used to support ActiveSync… okay, I don’t really care.

There’s one thing I really care though… what it means by techrepublic when he said “stores your e-mail and credentials on outside servers”? I don’t like the sounds of it.

Any idea?

I forgot to mention that I am a serial-zero-inboxer since I use Outlook App.
