Windows is phasing out the built in mail app which is basic but decent…forcing “upgrade” to Outlook which has ads if you’re not a paid user.
thunderbird just got a major upgrade with new aesthetics.
Wait so Google is putting ads in its services now?
WHY UNIVERSE WHY
honestly, just use a mail client. on Android I use k9. on desktop, thunderbird.
I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.
Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?

Yeah, I knew about that this year, so many ads and comparing with other alternatives it's like... lol
That's why I use Gmail through the K-9 Mail app (When I have to).
But then you have to activate access to Less Secure Apps™. It's so disgusting.
Apparently hotmail/Microsoft does the same
