Spark has horrible and disgusting business practices that they hide

Another perspective on Spark, for what it’s worth:

The short version is that there’s no way to do push notifications for
IMAP accounts on iOS without their server logging into your account and
keeping an IDLE connection open.
Many iOS email clients do this. It’s the price you pay for having
timely push notifications.
Just my 2¢.
