I'm not sure if the privacy protection claims made by Gmelius are true.
The plugin claims that I am being tracked via tracking pixel (or other image) embedded in emails and that the trackers know when I read my email and where I read it from (from my IP address). Is this true? Google server attachments through a proxy. This would prevent trackers from seeing my IP address. If assets are cached or pre-downloaded by Google, then trackers wouldn't know when I read their emails either.
Gmelius might even decrease privacy. The plugin includes a JavaScript file hotlinked to inboxsdk.com. It's possible that inboxsdk.com is tracking users this way.
