Hi,
use case: I understand the benefit of iPhone (and Android) email client storing the access credentials on Apple's (or Google) server so that the server polls IMAP and only wakes up the phone if there is actual mail to be fetched. However, this grants the server more access than it needs to fulfill said function. My concern is that server, hosting access credentials for such a multitude of user accounts, is a juicy target for bad actors who would gain unauthorized access and use the harvested credentials.
Which iPhone / Android clients do you mean? AFAIK iPhone Mail and Android's Gmail client use direct logins without a third party server. But there are some other clients out there (Bluemail?) which store logins on a server.
