In general, how private is the app?It is generally very private. In it's default configuration, the app stores all of its information locally, on your device. It does not communicate any email related information to our servers.
It is possible to configure some features that do remove some privacy, but those features are non-essential and they are clearly demarcated within the app. Please see this question for more information about that. Please note that the other questions in this FAQ consider those privacy-challenged features to be OFF.
