Security warning for the new Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft is currently promoting its new Outlook, which is provided free of charge by Microsoft and is intended to replace "Mail for Windows", especially in Windows 11. By using this new Outlook version, the access data from the mail accounts set up, in this case the RPTU account including password, as well as all mails from a mailbox, are transferred to Microsoft servers.

This is very questionable in terms of data protection and security. Microsoft is thus able to analyze and evaluate the email content, attachments and contact data.

We strongly advise against using the new Outlook!

Data protection authorities have already taken action and also advise against using the new Outlook.
