Security question – access to email accounts

Replies: 0

Hi,

I’ve started using this plugin and found the Gmail tutorial very clear and helpful.

However Google gives a warning, about this application having access to all the emails in the account.

If my website were to be hacked, would this leave the Gmail account vulnerable? Or is there some fundamental mechanism that prevents this access being used for anything other than sending?

Do you recommend that this plugin be used with a separate Gmail account that would not cause big problems if it were compromised?

Thanks
