it says low risk and it can give my GPS location. how come it just got found When I've been using Aqua Mail And TrustGof for months. Quite frankly I'm not at all worried.

This is defenitive a false alarm.
Quote of permissions from AquaMail:
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL NETWORK ACCESS
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
CONNECT AND DISCONNECT FROM WI-FI
Allows the app to connect to and disconnect from Wi-Fi access points and to make changes to device configuration for Wi-Fi networks.
And what the hack is "PUA!Twofeo.A@android"
Do you have any PUA apps installed?

Yes, this is a false positive. AquaMail has no permission to get GPS location, you can check this yourself in system settings -> apps management (or Google Play on the web).
