Move to outlook.com

I have all my business email through google and am getting to be over some of their policies and it's getting worse each year

Pretty sure I will move back to self hosting next time round

I download a critical software update file ( Drugs- I have a problem [biggrin]) If I use chrome it blocks it and is a pita. MS Edge allows it. I know its safe as the download site is not a site likely to bite me at all.


It may be the browser is my point? Gmail is not the best option yet seems

yesterday tried just stopping the vpn and logging in but as it auto starts it must leave something active that gmail picks up....
this morning I turned off auto start, rebooted and it logged into gmail fine.
