    I don’t know about sharing passwords, but I know that if you have an Exchange server on premises (meaning you have mailserver on your own infrastructure maybe somewhere in the building) because you don’t want to have your data in the cloud - Outlook for mobile (both iOS and Android versions) has been sending all your data through M$ servers anyway, don’t know for how long - quick search returned a 3 year old reference - imo much longer. There are “benefits” that I may be too dumb to understand:

    On iOS you can go around and use the default “Mail.app”. On Android I haven’t found a good app that would work with EWS - I’m using K-9 over IMAP which isn’t great.

      Have you tried Nine mail? https://www.9folders.com/en/index.html

      It costs some money to continue using it/unlock all features, but that’s a one time fee (assuming that it hasn’t changed).

      I can’t use it anymore as IT has disabled all support for 3rd party mail apps. Was the best exchange mail app I ever found (it actually supports the categories using which I’ve organised my mail).

      I (and my colleagues on iOS) have no choice but to use outlook mobile as the Apple mail app and everything else is blocked due to GDPR.

        Thank you for this. I’ve been testing the Nine app for a week now and I am sold 👍 Some users do complain that the app “isn’t as good as it used to be” - but luckily for me I don’t know - and it’s the best one I’ve seen anyway.

      On Android I haven’t found a good app that would work with EWS - I’m using K-9 over IMAP which isn’t great.

      On Android, I use FairEmail which is a fantastic open-source app. However, it doesn’t support any proprietary Microsoft stuff. For my work email, I use Nine, which works well.
