Protect Your Teammates' Email Privacy

Apply the Email visibility setting in the Emails section with caution. If you select can see all emails from other users, all Apollo users within your organization have access to view every other user's email activity. This includes all the emails that Apollo imports from each user's connected mailbox, whether a user sends them through Apollo or not.

If you have a large team and are concerned about email confidentiality, Apollo recommends that you select the following checkbox instead: can see outbound emails sent within the Apollo platform and replies to those emails, but not other emails. This means that users can only see the emails sent and replied to through Apollo. They do not see any other emails from your users' connected mailboxes. And voila, you've kept your team's email privacy safe and sound!
