I'm going a little off-topic here, but i just found out about Nylas. What i don't understand is the Cloud integration. If i use Nylas with my IMAP account, does Nylas upload any data to your cloud?

Can i use it as a basic Mail.app/Thunderbird alternative, without leaking my personal data to your cloud?

Not the OP, but AFAIK, Nylas does store your email in their cloud.

This allows the client to be thin, since it's only using the APIs and is shielded from the intricacies of dealing with mail protocols like IMAP and SMTP. It also allows Nylas to offer a single API that works across all your email.

Thanks!
