How so? It's quite simple to tell what a web app does in my understanding. Chrome has many good monitoring tools.

The webapp can send your data wherever once it has the data, chrome won't log http requests if they were made server to server etc

The logic is a native app can make a direct IMAP connection to the mail server and you can check it is doing so where as a web app has to send the login details to a server which does IMAP for the client and you can not see this last part.
