Good day,

Today I only have a general enquiry about email sending in Android development. I have two option here.

1. I can either send the email directly from the android device, but then the "send emails to guests without owners' knowledge" will display under the app permissions.
2. Allow the app to make a request to a PHP script on a server to send the email.

I do not use Intents to send the email and the user is at all times aware that an email is being sent. I just want to know what is better? I have seen apps like dropbox send emails from the app, but their permission does not show that horrifying text. I would also not like to download an app where that text is showing under permissions. Is there another way apps like dropbox achieve this?

Thanks in advance for clarity
Chris

What I have tried:

I am currently sending an email directly from android code. However, this displays that horrifying permission.
