It says:

Outlook.com needs your permission to:

- Access to your info any time

- Sync your mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks, and send email

- Access your email addresses

- Access your name, gender, display picture, contacts, and friends

Outlook.com already has access to all of this information on my hotmail.com account, so why do I need to grant it permission? No other email app I use does this, including the Yahoo app. I just sign in and that's it.

This looks like a way to get me to give Outlook.com permission to these things on my phone that are not from my Outlook.com account but synced with my Gmail account. Is this true?
