> It's like having your accounts synced into Apple Mail (or some other Google app). The difference is that it organizes your contacts and keep your data stored in the cloud

It's not the same, though - it's a non-standard service with the specific, stated purpose of data exfiltration.

The issue here isn't so much the fact that it keeps contacts available after the account is disabled; it's that it's the stated intent.

To put it another way - if I wanted this, why wouldn't I just sync my email via Thunderbird on a personal device?

> That's for sure, but, the idea here is more a CRM than a social network

I have something similar for myself, but it's just iCloud Contacts with lists and tags.

> The problem doesn't happen only to company emails...

I think this is your core issue - messaging. While I don't know if the problem you're trying to solve is one other people have, I do know that the value proposition of "you may lose your company email" is... well, it's clearly going to be a violation of contract at minimum for most employees, and potentially even a criminal act.
