Hello Mike!

 MP> Each morning, I receive at least one message from a

OMG, they just activated all those meeting/email matchings,  
brief facts, and stats?

Something like that would make me furious.



 MP> At the bottom, there is a link where I can opt out.

 MP> Right under that is a note that says the following:

 MP> For people in Canada:
 MP> This is a mandatory service communication.

THAT is certainly strange for disallowing Canadian users to opt  
out.   I'd simply opt out of such MS product!

I use MS Outlook 2007 (local to my PC).  It is quite good  
enuff, even if it is considered 15 yrs old.


 MP> I am curious as to why, if I were in Canada, these

Maybe you can find more about that matter elsewhere, but since  
I'm not a 365 or cloud Outlook user, I am not affected.
