So Microsoft is tracking all your checkouts? Why would you want that? And it’s not push, it’s pull because there is no way to store all data locally and keep it updated.

If you use gmail or outlook or just forward your emails there, I've got bad news for you :)

It's push in human terms because it comes to me automatically.

Pull is when I have to initiate action.

That's why you shouldn't use those either if you care about privacy. You should use fastmail, zoho or some other service where you are the customer, not the product.
