It's absurd that we can't get a clear answer on how this will affect email/ActiveSync. Is Microsoft seriously saying that Outlook 2016 will no longer work with Exchange Online which support ActiveSync? If that's true how does that affect every other app that uses ActiveSync? Will my employee's company issued iPhones no longer get email through the native email app? How about my android phone? Will that not work?
If it will work on all those devices but not Outlook 2016 is Microsoft going to specifically block Outlook 2016 clients from using ActiveSync but still allow everyone else to use it? Or are they changing the ActiveSync protocol in such a drastic way that all these apps will have to be updated and as a side effect Outlook 2016 will no longer work?
