- lern_too_spel 8y agoEvery other email provider also provides API access to email, typically via IMAP or POP. Your suggestion then is (instead of simply not authorizing third parties to have access to your email) to not use email at all?
- pacala 8y agoThere is quite a bit of friction when setting up IMAP/POP access to an email provider. If I go to the trouble of setting up IMAP/POP, it's likely I know what I am doing. To the best of my understanding, the article is about 1-click permission granting / data leak.
