But can we trust Russian software?

I would be happy to use Windows Firewall Control, but it always blocks Windows 11 mail app and I cannot figure how to allow Windows Mail app through.

Besides, Kaspersky is made in 🇷🇺.... I'll stick with Defender, made in 🇺🇸

Not anymore! I give you........ AI

There's a shocker... did you get my comment about Lige and Benny?

Lige or Benny must have helped design this!

It passes your login details to Microsoft’s servers, which then connect to the non-Microsoft mailbox. All your data passes through Microsoft’s hands, and the company saves your login details." Color me GONE on using the "new" Outlook!

The PS command worked for me, but you cant get rid of the dang yellow triangle. Its back. I still dont see "Always prompt", but thats no biggie. Sample sub is off at least. I may be wrong, but I dont think the PS command is doing anymore than just turning off the toggle button to Sample...

Okay, that worked, thx. I'm not seeing the "always prompt" however. I see "submit a sample manually", but no "always prompt"

Well, I don't want to "advertise" for the app, but if you want the name, and no, its not a drunk wine drinker, its called Wino. Its actually in the MS store... Wino Mail Homepage

I found another free email app that looks almost identical to Windows Mail. Does everything Mail does. I'm going to switch over when they force Outlook on me.

I think I still get Defender updates, even if cloud is off. I want the least amount of info being exchanged with MS. They're all about collecting data. A comment in another forum said they are vague about what info is sent with sample submission.

I tell my in-home clients to stick with Defender too. Several has said, "my (pick an AV) subscription has run out, should I buy for another year?" I say, no, save your $50 and stick with Windows security, its free and fine for protecting your computer. They like the word free too!
