The fact that it transfers all of your messages is new (to me), the whole
transferring of credentials has been the standard for almost all mobile email
clients as on ios you can't keep an imap connection open for instant
notifications. On android you can, but only after hunting for all the battery
saving settings and turning them off for the app. So your credentials will be
sent to the server, so it can use the platforms' notification channel instead. I
think I've ever seen an app warn me that they will be storing my credentials in
their cloud, but they do.
