While I don't deny that your problem with Exchange is a pain exacerbated by some restrictions in iOS (like default mail app is the one Apple provides), you have totally and utterly failed to provide anything on the updates part while scarface74 provided facts on that very point that can be verified independently. "I don't know. There are too many" and "Sure there are" aren't answers that can be fact checked and verified. This sounds dubious for someone who claims not to use biometrics for unlocking (which, I agree, is a better security practice than using biometrics).
Perhaps you always keep flashing your device with some random OS fork or build and that hasn't allowed you to observe what others who aren't as savvy as you have to put up with (I get that you could use this exact sentence back in pointing out what you see as deficiencies in iOS, but let's not move the goal posts).
So you really think I have one account that’s been posting since 2013 and another account that’s been posting since 2015 and that they have both been posting prolifically just to have someone agree with me?
But as far as the issue. Did you reach out to Microsoft? Did you download the Outlook app for iOS? Or would you rather just complain?
Wow, you seem just like another friendly and helpful Apple Fan. Of course I love to complain! Thanks for your unique input and no I don't seriously think your are his second account, I wrote that to emphasise my argument that followed this and which you left out. EOD...
Note to myself: never mention Apple again on hn
Edit: wow ninja-downvote within 1 minute! Have you been reloading your comment page for the last hour?
Oh I see...it's the other guy again...no surprise there.
I started being uncivil after they started being uncivil. Why is it me that is to blame here? I mean, they seem to be so agitated that they are downvoting me 3 days later!
> you insinuated that other users were astroturfing
I might have missed it where people started being uncivil to you first. We don't see all the comments. But it also doesn't make breaking the rules ok—even if others break them, you (i.e. we all) still have to follow them. It always feels like the other person started it, and did worse.
Re astroturfing I was referring to "Are you his second account".
> I might have missed it where people started being uncivil to you first. We don't see all the comments.
I...what? You can't click "parent" and get a context? Or come here with a different account/firefox container? What sense does that make? This is ridiculous. I mean, it's right there...
I never said the rules are bad. There is nothing wrong with the rules. There is just something wrong if they are being enforced selectively.

You might read up what astroturfing is. Because this is not how it works:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing
Besides the fact that I even explained that I said that to emphasize my argument that followed it.
Would you please read the whole thing before you judge? I mean, seriously this doesn't make any sense this way.
