<p dir="auto">Yes - this is stated explicitly in their documentation.</p>
<p dir="auto">As far as Readdle being able to access someone’s mailbox — this fear is somewhat unfounded. As soon any user configures their email account in an email client, the app maker now has access to user credentials and could, if they desire, access that email account at will.</p>
