If we want to enjoy a quality email manager on Android, we can count on the fingers of one hand, and we still have plenty of applications that allow us to interact with our email account, quite the opposite of what happens in Apple's mobile ecosystem where we find a large number of them.
One of the most used, along with Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, update the app continuously adding new functions and improving the operation of some of the features that it already offers us, thanks to the fact that the company listens to all the suggestions made by users of this application. The latest update focuses on improving our privacy.
The latest update of Outlook for Android allows us block external images from emails we receive. How does this affect our privacy? Many are the companies that when sending an email, include a script in the images that lets them know if they have been uploaded to the recipient's email, which allows them to confirm that it has been opened. This function must be activated in each of the accounts that we have configured in the application.
By deactivating that the images included in the emails are loaded, we will prevent the companies that send us emails from knowing if their emails reach our eyes and therefore help them in their sending statistics.ulnerating, without our knowing it, our privacy, since at no time are we informed that your emails incorporate a hidden reading confirmation system.
Most applications or mail managers allow us to add a read confirmation notice of emails, a read notice that recipients can confirm or not if they are interested in us knowing that our email has been read, something that most mailing companies do not do and that violates our privacy.
