Security concerns are the one of the primary reasons why so many email clients died out mid to late 2000’s when every red team success story was “found XSS in email client pwned admin”.
No body is detracting anything from anyone but there is no way I’m trusting an application that can take contol of a large portion of my life without assurances.
If your email address gets compromised it’s game over for most people every service you’ve registered with is up for grabs which is also the reason why I don’t recommend anyone to use personal domains for email unless they are willing to pay for it till death do them part.
As time and time again after buying a domain that was used by someone else and setting up a catch all email address I got emails from Twitter, GitHub and the likes.
