Having tried many email programs I have settled on Mailbird because it is very simple, very easy to use and set up, and does everything I want. I never send sensitive info by email. However, a reviewer (Mateo Spinelli) investigated how safe a user's info. would be and was very critical indeed. Have a look at:

Also, Mailbird's assurances at:

I have switched off "Share performance and usage data" in my Mailbird.
Looking for opinions. Thanks.

Generally speaking, without considering Mailbird or the company itself:
1. How serious are security criticisms such as these, assuming they are valid; and
2. Considering them generally, do such criticisms seem exaggerated?
3. On 2, how likely is it that an established program freely available on the Internet could get away with selling such apparently insecure software? If it was really so insecure, wouldn't some other sources (CNET, blogs, warnings against Mailbird on this forum, etc.) have by now blackened its name and effectively forced it to be withdrawn?
