@markgbaxter My work is trying to make me use Outlook. You should hear me whine about it :)

@kristinmbranson @markgbaxter would gladly bury marbles if it meant I could use GMail/Cal for everything

@neurobongo @kristinmbranson my previous and current institutions both enforce browser-only outlook access unless you give them unrestricted access to your phone/laptop or are physically connected to their network and my current institution blocks gmail on campus so basically if you're not on a slack with me I'm not going to talk to you 🤣

@markgbaxter @neurobongo @kristinmbranson
In a similar situation, someone who knew how set up an outlook server. Although forwarding from the uni server was forbidden, the outlook server could import the mail and forward it. So you could have it forwarded to gmail and do everything there.

@kendmiller @markgbaxter @neurobongo Oh interesting, I will look into this, great idea! Possibly better than my current solution of... not reading my work email 🙃

@kristinmbranson @kendmiller @markgbaxter @neurobongo When HHMI started outsourcing their email, I setup forwarding and forgot about it. But as of 2019 or so forwarding wasn't supported anymore.

@albertcardona @kendmiller @markgbaxter @neurobongo ya it's been a slow process of them trying to control many things. I draw the line at Microsoft Teams.

@markgbaxter @neurobongo oh wow, that's a lot. Yes, they have unrestricted access to my laptop as well...

@neurobongo @kristinmbranson @markgbaxter the offer is very kind but unfortunately it doesn't work if you don't bury marbles for the correct motivation. What is the correct motivation, you ask? That information is unfortunately known only to our deity on high, Wildtype Mouse
