Yes I have been using this for a year now and it works great. You can customise the poll duration (how long it waits before checking for new emails) and the notifications have quick actions like mark as read and trash.
In a way, yes. The more things that have your credentials the greater the attack surface. However the code is open source, you could inspect it and build it from source if you’d like to. Additionally if you use a mailbox password then the app won’t be able to read email content as the mailbox password is used to decrypt the actual content while the main password is for accessing the account. The app doesn’t need your mailbox password for its functionality so it can’t decrypt email content (except the header which is not encrypted by PGP).

Signing in to Proton Mail with my username and password on this app made me a little nervous, are there any privacy concerns about doing this?
