AquaMail accounts visible in Androids Accounts tab

[Kristofejro]

Hello,

I would like to ask you about visibility of AquaMail accounts in Androids My Accounts tab.
Is it necessary that when I got to settings -> accounts and I can see all my email account configured in AquaMail?
Hope you can answer my doubts.

Regards,
Kris

You can see AquaMail accounts there already.
> Android 5.x
Tap on "AquaMail" and you will see each of your mail account.

Is this your request?

Hi mikeone,

Believe me I know they are there 
I was asking if it necessary for them to be visible in that place.

I have my AquaMail password protected and I don't want my mail accounts be visible in android accounts.


Regards,
Kris

Technically, only Exchange accounts are supposed to be there -- but I decided to add them all, to avoid questions about why some do and some don't.

I thought "privacy" meant protecting the *content* of your messages, not the existence of mail accounts themselves?

Sometimes just name of the account reveals to much...
In AquaMail we have accounts "display name" or let it call "aliases"
Maybe in Androids accounts aliases should be shown?
Then you can have any account but only aliases are shown.

The trouble with showing "user assigned names" is they're too easy to change, and renaming system accounts is somewhat expensive and difficult.

Sorry, don't see this changing. My apologies.

Thank you Kostya for the information.
