Sure, IMAP, POP, CALDav, same as all the other mail providers...

And the optimized JMAP protocol too.

The fact that I am getting voted down proves how absolute the groupthink is... If you work in Google's ecosystem, however, the only possible exit is being bought by Google... Get bought by a competitor and they'll just turn you off.

So the answer is no then, because Gmail still provides imap and pop, which are unaffected by this.

Both disabled by default (ridiculous for an email provider), and if you enable 2FA get ready to do some yak shaving.

But how does the credential management work?

I don't recall since the last time I set it up was a while ago, but I think just your password + an app specific code if you use 2fa normally. But yeah I'm pretty confident this doesn't apply to outlook.
