Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my opinion, the Nextcloud MailApp violates the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the app manipulates emails by default through automatic tagging. This function should be switched off by default and should only be switched on by active user action. Changing digital content without the user's consent, even if it is only the header of the email, cannot be compliant with data protection regulations. Consent was also not given by installing the app, as there is no explicit reference to the automatic classification of emails. Of course, the user can deactivate the function, but in my 0pinion the violation is based on the default activation.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how the MailApp's automatic email tagging is handled, then establish the project's GDPR requirements and the desired default and consent behavior. Done requires an agreed scope and specified behavior before implementation can begin.
