    Microsoft does the same crap with Office 365’s apps that support both a personal and corporate account. I have to authenticate with my company if I want to use outlook to access my personal account. If you have multiple accounts, and one is corporate, your IT team can enable enterprise privacy crap that sits on top of the entire client, including personal accounts.

    The obvious workaround is to not use outlook for personal email, but still, WTF.

      The obvious solution is ot not ever use anything Microsoft.

      If your work requires it, then require they give you a phone as you suddenly don’t have one, it broke or something

      You kind of have too when working with an email client that can present a unified view of email from multiple accounts. That doesn’t mean the IT folks can read the email attached to your person accounts though, neither can they delete it. All they can do is force Outlook to deconfigure itself and / or wipe your phone.

      It’s the second part that’s the bigger problem. Wiping my phone could kill my personal 2FA apps, like Aegis, if I didn’t have them backed up.
