It sounds like they proxy all the connections so all the mail passes through their servers. I wonder how long they keep it? I guess everyone’s emails become grist for AI.
I wonder what their terms of service say about that?
It's documented, that they store the credentials to the Mailservers in cleartext on their servers and fetch the Mails there. It's a shitty design.

Credentials in plain text? I thought we got past that in the’90s.
Where is that documented?
Otherwise they can't access your Mailservers.
I'm not sure if the data at rest is unencrypted but at least it is reversible since they need it for login to your mailservers.
It is definitely not a standard like bcrypt or scrypt there the credentials are secured by a one way function
