> Blocked email accounts
Some ISPs are telling those with bundled mail facilities that this authentication block is being done by Microsoft to improve mail service security. Authentication using a username and password has been replaced with modern authentication, typically OAuth2. That requires your mail client to run a one–time setup with the mail server, so it can log in and fetch your mail using either POP or IMAP, and send using SMTP. But those providers aren’t enabling that to let Microsoft’s own Outlook 365 or clients like Postbox collect their mail securely. Instead, the only services they’re supporting are webmail, or Outlook on iOS/iPadOS.
The best workaround is to set up accounts with another mail provider like Gmail or Titan, and set your original mailboxes to forward email to that account, from where you collect and read them using your email client. That’s easy to configure in Outlook’s webmail, although you’ll still want to check your original mailbox on the web from time to time.
> Export your Health data to a spreadsheet WH
The Health app only provides a way to export all your data in formats unsuitable for spreadsheets. To use that, tap on your user picture at the upper right of the Summary, then on Export All Health Data. The app can take several minutes to prepare those files, and you can then AirDrop them to your Mac or another device, or save them to iCloud Drive. As they contain personal data, you may wish to protect them using encryption. In addition to ECGs and workout routes, there will be two large XML files containing all the data that the Health app uses to create its charts. Finding an app to then do anything useful with those is more of a challenge.
To make your own charts using Numbers or another spreadsheet you need a simpler summary of just the data you want in CSV format, available
