Just a curious question.
How come it is prioritized to solve issues for microsoft integrations when privacy / being european alternative are the key things? Native integrations with European providers are no where to bee seen. Proton?
Sorry for a bit rude answer:
Simply as quite a few us are catched with real life issues as having email and calendar in MS365 at work, and hoping that we don’t have to run around with two phones in our pockets.
I think that goes most of us and the new users arriving later this year…let’s face it: Most companies and governmental offices in countries where Jolla sells phones, use Microsoft 365 and most likely Exchange Online.
Jolla is in no position to change this. And it makes them a business opportunity as it differs Jolla and SailfishOS from other alternative mobile operating systems, and by that, gives them income for future development. Perhaps even things you (and I) want, support for Proton services. Or other things

While I’m all for the world weaning of providers like MS, the “active sync” support is one of the paid-for features.
It’s quite understandable - and may even be legally required - to prioritize a feature you sell (actually license which is not the same thing).
The makers of Proton are free to provide an implementation of their software for SailfishOS if they like.
Also if you remember, Hotmail a.k.a. something Live a.k.a. not-quite-office365 email is still one of the largest freemail services out there, so it’s not just business users who benefit from this.
Not saying either or, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was just curious how a MS integration drew that amount of attention.

It is paid licensed component like AAS and XT9 that needed fixes for quite some time now.
Nothing deeper than that.
Well, it was part of the three functionality things that made up a paid license - Android app support, predictive text and MS Exchange/Office365 support.
Predictive text has been gone for new licenses for some time now, so if MS Exchange/O365 support remained broken as well then 2/3 of the functionality components of a paid license would be no longer available.
