Does Email Meter have access to the body of emails?
Does Email Meter have access to the body of emails?
Although
Mail.Read gives the app permission to read the body of our emails, none of Email Meter’s systems read, process or store the body or attachments of emails. This scope is essential at the moment, but we’ll use a more restricted scope as soon as it’s introduced by Microsoft. Please get in touch if you want more details about this.Why don't you use Mail.ReadBasic.all?
Why don't you use Mail.ReadBasic.all?
We use
Mail.Read to access Extended Properties, which are not available with the more limited Mail.ReadBasic.all scope. These properties are needed to:- Understand if an email is
SentorReceived. - Identify which email another email is replying to.
- Calculating response times.
