Hi, I installed the New Outlook for Windows, and I learnt that there is no IMAP/SMTP connection option if the IMAP/SMTP servers are not exposed to the internet (for example, when they are available only in VPN or internally or on a local network). Outlook says that it needs to upload everything to the Microsoft Cloud in order work. That is quite a serious functionality loss compared to the old Outlook, and a bit of a privacy nightmare.
That makes it impossible to use Outlook in my business.
I remember the New Outlook for Mac had a similar start, but then the IMAP/SMTP connection to servers which are not on the internet was added.
I know there are people here from Microsoft. Do you know if this feature will be re-added to the New Outlook for Windows before the general release? Microsoft doesn't want to give me a straight answer.
P.s. I am also interested in your opinion about this move.
