Using older versions of Outlook for Mac in business environments
iPhone and iPad - the blue envelope icon
Email from Microsoft titled "Action Needed – You may lose access to some of your third-party mail and calendar apps" Is this a scam?

The sender is "******@communication.microsoft.com"
Its telling us that "Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods."
I access hotmail email accounts from a MacbookAir laptop using the Apple email app. Also access from an iPhone 11.
It seems legit. Can anyone confirm if it is?
