[MlMt] OT: iOS mail client

[Antonio Leding]

“Are you able to revoke the token they have stored on their 
servers?”

Yes - this is stated explicitly in their documentation.

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.

The only difference here is that Readdle is informing the users in a 
advance if what they are doing…
