And when they figure out how to serve ads on IMAP, you can take thunderbird to another provider.

I don't think it'll actually come to that, due to popularity, but I can see them blocking IMAP access on new accounts due to 'security'.

Exchange was always the EEE to standard mail/calendar protocols. They have a path towards that.

They’ve already moved Active Directory to the cloud, they’re normalizing “Microsoft owns your accounts, even business ones”. All the content on Teams lives on Azure, and I believe SharePoint is doing the same.

Microsoft is EEEing the Fortune 500.
