If you have gmail ported through MS Outlook you may want to catch this tidbit. Microsoft Why is it that you need access into my gmail data within Outlook for Office 365? I have used this for years as is and this level of access has never ever been needed or requested before. Can I not display and use google mail within Outlook anymore without you Microsoft Apps & Services being able to read, compose, send, AND permanently delete all email from gmail? Uhmmm no!This is.... buggy folks and a definite security flaw.
If anyone else has this issue, plz let me know what was done to fix it. I would never hit Allow to this. I would rather use a non Microsoft email program going forward. The dialog box before this one suddenly appeared today - asking for my gmail username and password upon a send and receive action. For those that have their gmail accounts within Outlook, you know that gmail doesn't accept your normal gmail password, but needs an application specific password setup just for your mail client or other usage. That dialog box did NOT accept my application specific password as it should have. I gave it my actual google gmail password and I then got to this dialog box asking for "the world". Further, this started @ 8:40 PM CST yesterday. A/V = OK. Anyone else seeing this? Lets discuss plz?
This is an explicit data privacy leak (if allowed) per = https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4132681/what-microsoft-apps-and-services-is-and-how-it-enables-connection-to-yNo MS, you don't need to be reading my email or checking out my google drive files. ALL Users, be warned and on the lookout for this if you use gmail within Outlook. I'll be reaching out to Google for comment on this. I sure could use some help if someone has that connect...
