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.
Outlook also sends all your email, including those from other accounts, to their cloud. No questions asked. Oh, also your password, because why not?

I’ll take a massive privacy breach for a bit more battery life any time. What could go wrong?
