Mint has an options page where you can simply turn off all the alerts. If you are using the app why do you need an email coming to you as well? Plus take solace in the small amount of non waste you are saving
Also, in this day and age, got a little security conscious myself, instead of blaming everybody else for my own ignorance. What happened to learning and being aware of how to take care of myself
Having researched the above, looking through the options, and thinking about how I want to use something I am now as happy with with the use of the Mint App on my iPhones as I am with the iPhones themselves.

I had very few problems with setting up my mint account. Figuring out what the security questions were for some of my accounts was a little tricky but not impossible. I was successful in getting all of my several checking and savings, credit card, and school loan accounts up on mint. The iphone app is also very simple and useful, and I highly recommend it to anyone trying to keep a close watch on their budgeting. If you have concerns about someone using your iphone, set up a security passcode lock on the thing! I’m sure there are very few of us that don’t have sensitive personal/financial information on our phones these days.

I use Mint.com and I had all the same concerns at first. The thing is, even if someone finds your iphone, all they can see his how much money you have (or more likely owe) They can’t make any kind of transactions, get any account numbers, or really do much of anything. They’ll just know how broke you are Mint on the computer is the same way, and it logs you out every 10 minutes. I don’t think the iphone version does that, but that’s because it would be a pain in the neck and it shows no compromising information.
