I've emailed something to someone from the app. When I look at my sent emails and click on the link i have sent, I can see all my posts, my PMs etc. Does this mean they can too?
Or is it just that i am logged in to MN on iphone?
My calm asking belies my desperate reality....

Hello

We're almost 100% sure this can't be the case, but we're going to test it internally to be sure. What process did you go through to email someone from the app? If you see what we mean (ie there isn't a 'share this via email' button within the app, we don't think?)

We're doing it now - I've emailed a colleague a link from my app and we're just waiting for the notification email to turn up

Nope, when I logged out and clicked on the link I emailed myself I couldn't see any of my info, I could see this thread, but I had to log in again to post.

Phew

Right - this seems to be a case of cookies making people panic (as often happens).

As CBeebies says, anyone who isn't already logged in as you to Mumsnet will see the MN page as a non-logged-in person and so will have absolutely no way to see 'into' your account, your posting history, your PMs etc.

It's a bit like if I share this link from Amazon while I'm logged in to Amazon - you won't be able to see my Amazon account I hope

So - basically - nothing to worry about here.
