Do not firewall them off. Serve different content and break functionality in a self-explanatory way (i.e. an email that tells what's wrong).

- martin_a 3y agoThis is nothing user-facing. Microsoft will run that in the background, firewalling it off breaks it, so they'll have to act.
- __david__ 3y agoThe emails are user facing. So if, say, the ISP were to detect Microsoft servers connecting and serve them back a mailbox with a single email in it instead of the user's real mailbox, then the user would open Outlook and see just a single message. Ideally non-threateningly titled "MICROSOFT HAS STOLEN YOUR PASSWORD" and containing clear instructions on how to switch back to direct IMAP.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoThat's a great idea and would be extremely easy to roll out. I hope people start doing that!
- fyokdrigd 3y agoi can't wait to have to answer an email-captch for every imap connection in the future, just because Microsoft decided to do an Apple.
