Installed, started and then realized that you have to give them your credentials so their server can download your mail rather than the app doing this. I understand the benefits of these cloud mail checkers but this is just a 'no go' for me. Too bad.


Jesus. How did you even realize this, I didn't see that anywhere? Goddamnit.


They should implement OAuth2.0, then there's no need to give them your password. Meanwhile creating an app specific password might do as well?


OAuth is implemented for products that support it, such as Google and Gmail accounts. Exchange doesn't support OAuth. See https://www.acompli.com/privacy-policy/.


That wouldn't change anything for me/us as they would still have access to my private mail which bothers me and/or access to my company mail which I'm sure bothers my company.


I think this is the only way to do a push email app on iOS with support for third party email accounts.
