How does it get into my ISP mail server

Hello
I am currently evaluating MailWasher Pro on Outlook client 2013 and I have one question that I am concerned about.

As I understand it MailWasher logs into my mail accounts on my ISP and presents the mails in its UI before I imap into my accounts to download the mails.
How does it do this? To login to the email accounts I have to present an email address and password. How does MailWasher know or access my password?
Or does it use some other method/backdoor to get to my ISP mail servers?

Thanks

Hi there

No, regular username/password, the settings it uses are under Settings >> Accounts >> Incoming.
MailWasher would have imported those settings from Outlook if you didn't need to enter in your password details.

Cheers
