Upon reading the subject line I was reminded of our buddy from a few weeks ago, who was claiming here in the lounge that Microsoft sends every set of credentials your browser knows about to all servers you connect to, because he couldn't comprehend that the passwords being offered to auto-fill a password box were coming from (and being managed entirely by) the browser, and not the remote site...

To me it sounded like more of the same. If you grant the Outlook client permission to fetch your Gmail data so it's all available within the same client...how is that supported to work without access? It needs the credentials. You provide them to it, so it acts on your behalf. That's how it works.

I'm pretty sure MS is extremely familiar with GDPR laws (which the article brings up), and wouldn't intentionally place itself in a position where they'd be blatantly violating them. That page hasn't offered any evidence that MS was sending, to itself, anything it doesn't absolutely need. They're just making the claim.
