Mostly FYI.

As far as I know, 'mobile.pipe.aria.microsoft.com' is used for telemetry.

^ Fortunately having Blokada, it stopped all telemetry requests to 'mobile.pipe.aria.microsoft.com'. I uninstalled Outlook for Android (Google Play Store) and the connections stopped. I now use Gmail for all email providers.

You can block these domains too:

client-office365-tas.msedge.net
nexusrules.officeapps.live.com
nexus.officeapps.live.com
config.edge.skype.com
officeclient.microsoft.com
mobile.pipe.aria.microsoft.com

Take a look at this:
Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges

This is know from 2017 middle, if I remember corectly :)

How about the version NOT from Google Play Store? I mean just an apk from other play stores

Android users are better off using the built-in, 3rd party client, or Gmail itself. (Gmailify is an additional step for better spam protection).

Because in case you missed the advice that goes around... downloading any APKs from outside the Google Play Store is not advised, as it may bring additional risks such as malware and ID theft.

The altered versions of legit apps need to be continually supported by the external source otherwise risk losing features and potential bugs in the long run. In some case these modified apps may be taken down (ie. Spotify Dogfood) by request.

Only download APKs from a trusted and (preferably) an open-source App Store, which may have a slight less risk than some shady APK stores.
