I recently found out that Groupmail can see ALL password of its users! They sent me an email to renew, and put my login AND password in an email (manually) which I find very bizar. And second, a password should not be send by email, and third I didn’t ask for my password!
So this company is not respecting the privacy of its users which gives me great concerns, especially because the European privacylaws are getting more strict.
So Groupmail, get your hands of my password and change your procedure!
