Sending the entire email content to their cloud isn’t that good.
However an advantage to doing so is to be able to use push notifications on the app without having to poll continuously the email address from the device.
Which in return reduces the battery usage compared to constant polling.
However, they could have done something like spark mail, only get the email subject, sender and a little bit of the content to put into the noficiation then delete after the push notificdation has been sent.
The creator of FairEmail had a good solution for that, notifications are nearly instant, doesn’t use a thirdparty like Microsoft or Google, and very low battery usage.
Don’t know how he solved it, though

Plot twist: he’s actually loading all your stuff into his cloud.
I’ll take a massive privacy breach for a bit more battery life any time. What could go wrong?
