Accounts linked to Evernote. What does "Retrieve Notes" mean?

[Revearti 1]

Hi, everyone.

 

I was about to link my Evernote (OS X app) account to Pocket (OS X app), and I noticed Retrieve Notes in the approval settings.  Does anyone know what this means?  I'm guessing it's not allowed to retrieve "all" notes, but I'd rather not guess in this case.

 

Thanks for your time.

Looks like it means exactly what it says. It can retrieve your notes. I don't know why it needs this access though. I've emailed Pocket to find out.

Reply from Pocket:

 

"You’re correct that Pocket does not need access to your notes in Evernote. In fact, we do not utilize this permission at all – we only retrieve notebook names, and are able to save content to Evernote from Pocket."

 

"We will be sure to follow up with Evernote to see if this permission can be changed in the future."
