No, it's not. It's an OAUTH2 connection like a sane app. Proton is ostensibly lying about this credential setup. No app does that anymore.

- snailmailman 3y agoEither way, Microsoft servers get access to your email accounts so that you can view them locally. Why should Microsoft get access to my Gmail or Protonmail? Their servers don’t need access to my email. Old outlook didn’t do that. Thunderbird doesn’t do that. This is completely unnecessary for a mail app. My computer can check my email. No reason for Microsoft servers to do it on my behalf.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> Proton is ostensibly lying about this credential setup. Not sure what your evidence is for lying. Because they're not. When creating an IMAP account, c't was able to sniff the traffic between new Outlook and the Microsoft servers. It contained the target server, log-in name and password which were sent to those Servers of Microsoft. Although TLS-protected, the data is sent to Microsoft in plain text within the tunnel. Without informing or inquiring about this, Microsoft grants itself access to the IMAP and SMTP login data of users of the new Outlook. ref: https://www.heise.de/news/Microsoft-lays-hands-on-login-data-Beware-of-the-new-Outlook-9358925.html https://www.heise.de/news/Microsoft-lays-hands-on-login-data...
