Hi,

The Outlook app for iOS devices is leveraging Amazon Web Services to handle communication between the App and email servers. It was storing "personal credentials and server data" on Amazon Web Services, which Microsoft uses to support its Outlook clients.

If you still have any question about Outlook for iOS, please ask for help in the following link:

I appreciate the response, but I'm well aware AWS's role in the Outlook App, hence the question.  Further, you didn't actually answer the question, you just passed the buck.

Simple yes or no will suffice.  Also, it would be nice if MS would make it easier to get tangible info in terms of when the services will be moved over to Azure.  I'm finding it nearly impossible to locate any response (because it's been asked) that doesn't offer a long-winded explanation without actually saying anything.

Thanks
