So not only are they reading every email you access from your phone, you are giving them carte blanche to change the content....

What benefits is this app supposed to provide?Intro reconfigures your iOS device (e.g. iPhone, iPad) so that all of your emails go through LinkedIn’s servers. You read that right. Once you install the Intro app, all of your emails, both sent and received, are transmitted via LinkedIn’s servers. LinkedIn is forcing all your IMAP and SMTP data through their own servers and then analyzing and scraping your emails for data pertaining to…whatever they feel like.
Look forward to sexy massages to hubby having linked in spam on it while your linkedin profile is assocaited with Miss Whiplash.

I though that all apps on the app store were in some way certified by apple as 'safe', one would think that this type of behaviour would be considered as rampant arseholery by apple, obviously not if the article is true.

Its one of those things where it seems like a good idea to absolutely everyone involved until its finally shown to the customer at which point it becomes exactly the opposite.....
