@drose c/o gemini…

\n

Yes, it does. Even if you are using a third-party email provider (like Gmail, iCloud, or a private IMAP server), the Microsoft Outlook client—particularly the “New Outlook” for Windows, iOS, and Android—still “calls home” to Microsoft’s servers in several significant ways.

\n

Depending on which version of Outlook you use, the data sharing ranges from basic diagnostics to Microsoft actually acting as a “middleman” for your emails.

\n 1. The “Microsoft Cloud” Sync (New Outlook) \n

In the New Outlook (and the mobile apps), Microsoft uses a service called “Microsoft Cloud.” When you add a non-Microsoft account (IMAP, Gmail, Yahoo), Microsoft typically asks for permission to sync your data to their cloud.

\n\n 2. Diagnostic & Usage Data \n

Like most modern Microsoft software, Outlook collects “telemetry” data. Even if your email is private, the app itself sends back:

\n\n 3. Advertising & 3rd Parties \n

Recent versions of the New Outlook for Windows have drawn criticism for sharing data with advertising partners.

\n\n \n How to Minimize Data Sharing \n

If you want to keep using Outlook but want more privacy, consider these steps:

\n\n

Would you like me to help you find the specific privacy toggles in your version of Outlook to turn off as much tracking as possible?
