A few days ago I exported emails from my account using the Import-Export app. the app generated logs that showed the subject/from/to addresses of all the mails. I believe this is problematic because users do not expect/know that these are saved to their computer. Personally, I like to think of my emails as solely contained in Proton's apps, and not stored directly in my computer.
I believe that a second, similar log file was created when I imported the email back into another account, a few days later
Expected Behavior
Do not write sensitive information in logs file (at least not by default ?)
Current Behavior
Sensitive information is written by default in the logs file without the user's knowledge
Possible Solution
Disable (or remove sensitive information from ) logs by default, and add an option to toggle them on, specifying that logs may contain sensitive information
Steps to Reproduce
Open the app
Login to an account
Click "export all" and follow the process
Open the logs location and look at a file starting with "import_"
Version Information
v1.3.3
Context (Environment)
I would like data from my emails to be contained in the Proton apps exclusively, and not stored directly in my computer
Additional info :
I am on Linux, my log location is /home/[user]/.cache/protonmail/importExport/logs/
