Hi,
i hope somebody with more knowledge than me can give me a hint about mailbird.
While surfing the web i found
The best email clients for Windows 2016 – Matteo Spinelli's Cubiq.org
The website states: "I installed the latest version and fired a packet sniffer.
If you don’t disable the usage sharing, Mailbird indeed sends analytics to mixpanel
and to one of their server hosted on unoeuro (a cheap 1-euro hosting service).
If you opt-out they don’t send data to mixpanel, but there’s still encrypted
communication with 94.231.106.126. Funnily enough that same IP resolves to
magicalmailapp.com which was the domain that Mailbird previously used to leak data. I
can’t say what they are sharing, but surely the opt-out is not completely opting you out.
UPDATE: I’ve been contacted by Mailbird CTO, he ensures me that the connection to
magicalmailapp.com is used exclusively to check and confirm your software license
(if you purchased the application).
You’d think that at least they are storing information on a super secure dedicated
server, it turned out that the IP is shared with 41 more websites on unoeuro host."
I found the ip im my outbound wfc log also, after that my knowledge is too limited to
verify anything
So do i need to worry (and i should better look for another emailprogramm) or does
the website states pure bs?
(I really like all my emailaccounts displayed like its just one account in the inbox)
