    For a simple thing I have to give it to @google against @microsoft: Google account login is so smooth and even works well in 3P, Microsoft equally sucks, even on @Outlook. Exact issue in next post -

    my mail provider @Hosteurope unfortunately migrated all its users to @Outlook and its unfathomable how bad that product is. Login redirects a gazillon of times, "remember me" doesn't work, I literally cannot use desktop Outlook without subscribing to a higher tier.
