Yes, I have a different interpretation, based on my experience using 
Spark a few years ago. Their docs don't clarify whether anything has 
changed; I suspect it hasn't. When I reported the "breach" to them at 
the time; they clearly stated the passwords were kept on their servers, 
and the account they were accessing (on my behalf) was a bug and that 
shouldn't have happened. It would have been impossible to happen had 
they not "stolen" email creds.

Unless they have changed, Spark keeps creds __on their servers__ and not 
just in IMAP client. Reading between the lines of their docs; their 
servers access your mailboxes directly (not just via iOS app), which is 
how they know when to send push notifications.
