Windows 10: Why does Microsoft Apps want to be able to delete all gmail mails?

I get the following message:

Microsoft apps and services would like to:


Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail


This app wants permission to do anything you can do in your Gmail, including:

• Read your emails

• Compose new emails

• Add new emails meant for a different email address into your inbox

• Send emails for you

• Delete your email

• Create, change or delete your email labels

• Get notified when certain kinds of emails appear in your Gmail inbox, like a travel confirmation
  
  
  Your email may contain sensitive info, like names of your contacts, your private communications, or financial or medical information.

See your personal info, including any personal info you've made publicly available


This app wants permission to:

• See your full name

• See your profile picture

• See your gender

• See your preferred languages

• See any other information you've made publicly available

By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can change this and other Account Permissions at any time.

Mail App and Gmail


I've always had my gmail account linked to the Windows 10 mail app, however the last update I did the mail app is a complete mess and will not show my gmail messages. I've deleted and relinked the account but it's not linking properly at all. I was able to successfully link a yahoo email account just not the gmail.

Is this a known issue since the last update, and is there a workaround fix?

 

Mail App Deleting Problem


Hi, I don't use Mail having given up on MS clients when MS played 'now you have one, now you don't' after Outlook Express disappeared.

Research on this suggests others came to this conclusion:

Mail app does not delete from server - Microsoft Community
windows 10 mail - delete email from server - Microsoft Community
Windows 10 Mail not deleting gmail emails from server - Microsoft Community
windows 10 mail seems to be deleting mail from the server - Microsoft Community

Others who use this may have found a solution.
