The fact that it transfers all of your messages is new (to me), the
whole transferring of credentials has been the standard for almost all
mobile email clients as on ios you can't keep an imap connection open
for instant notifications. On android you can, but only after hunting
for all the battery saving settings and turning them off for the app. So
your credentials will be sent to the server, so it can use the
platforms' notification channel instead. I think I've ever seen an app
warn me that they will be storing my credentials in their cloud, but
they do.
... I have not been aware of the fact that *ALL* apps actually might be
doing this.
It was just recently that I looked for alternative iOS mail apps - and
"phoning home" credentials got noted only for the Spark app.
Thanks & best,

Folks,
sort of triggered by Benoit's recent and absolutely spot-hitting
rant about Microsoft's inability resp. unwillingness to
appropriately deal with spam complaints, I thought I should share
this article:
Microsoft lays hands on login data: Beware of the new Outlook

<https://www.heise.de/news/Microsoft-lays-hands-on-login-data-Beware-of-the-new-Outlook-9358925.html>
with you.
Although it is not strictly related to email service providers'
operations, I wonder about the unintended resp. unwanted side
effects wrt. email operations it could have that you have to
involuntarily hand off your credentials to a third party.
So, your account got hacked and you happen to use such an Outlook
version: where was the leak? On your end? Or on Microsoft's?
Opinions?
Best,
-C.
