Re: How to disable SQM in Live Mail?

Fyi...iirc, if unchecked, its not sent though the files may still be generated.

How did you determine that CIP info is being sent from WLM ?
<qp>
Can I review the information before it is sent to Microsoft?
Unfortunately the information can't be reviewed for a couple of reasons:

.. Applications which use CEIP typically send data to Microsoft servers after the application is closed. Rather than displaying a
dialog prompting you to review the information when the application is trying to close, the data is sent automatically, without
interrupting your work.

The firewall informed you that sqm files were requested for outbound traffic or that outbound access was requested ? I.e. were the
files actually sent ?

If so, then you still have settings for CIP enabled.

Fyi...I've not seen that on 3 pcs with WLM, Office, 3 different Windows versions, 3 different firewalls(Windows, Symantec, Comodo),
and CIP refused on all.

Thus verify all other software with similar settings(I.e.other applications use CIP) and use your firewall setttings to block
outbound access. As noted earlier outbound access does not indicated data sent

Lacking any other setting preventing outbound access.....your only other recourse is to send feedback to Msft and express your
concern that has a CIP option(ensure to include any program that you can validate as the source).
