yes, I know, and for me you're right,
last week I installed an (irrelevant) app,
which had 2 options in the settings:
1) send anonymous data
2) show ads
you could uncheck only one of these (i.e. unchecking the 1st would check the 2nd and vice versa),
but this was because I downloaded the free version,
downloading the paid version you could remove both checks (obviously..),
so aquamail should respect its paid users at least and
give them the option to opt out of sending out bs!!!
