Oh, sorry mate. I missed that.
Admin Mod, please pull this thread as being a duplicate from a previous time and I did not find it before putting this one out.
Everyone else: the other thread is the one you wish to reply to.
Cheers!

A million times yes to your comment. I have paused upgrading based on the forced updates and data collection that ms now asks can’t be fully turned off.

Yet another reason to avoid Outlook -and possibly Outlook Express as well... I've been using Thunderbird for years - never had issue one with it.
