Are these samsung e-mail permissions normal? I feel hacked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a samsung galaxy A11 and a few months ago weird stuff been going on so I started looking/investigating not knowing where to beggin to look for things and right after factory reset these are the permissions for the vanilla e-mail app that samsung provides. I posed 4 pics because that's how long the permission page is... am I tripping or is this normal? The first permission is " add or modify calender events and send e-mail to guests without owner's knowledge " I mean wtf is that ? Lol it s weird right !?

On my phone, another email app, Outlook, is almost the same as this one.
But I have disabled some permissions such as calendar, camera, contacts as well as microphone for this email app because I think these permissions are not necessary for my general application scenario. In fact, the email app still works well.

[Q]Email app permisions

After connecting my mail to my university exchange account, this is which permissions it asks for, and if not granted doesn't work:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is this safe, and if not, how can I remove those permissions w/o removing my mail.
It's the stock email app. It's safe. You can't remove the permissions if you need to use an Exchange account with that version of the email app. If you really need to use Exchange without those permissions, there is a modded version of the app:

or via Xposed:

I don't really have to do that, I just wasn't sure about this, thanks for the clarification.

Stop Whatsapp auto sync and data pushing (backup)

Hello everybody.
I'm not a programmer or a developer, but i've got an issue that's making me crazy: how to seriously forbid/stop whatsapp contacs auto sync and backup? This app is the no 1 battery drainer.
If sync is unchecked/disabled under the accounts' management (google accounts etc), it automatically enables the sync again. Same appens if the account itself is deleted. The account is newly generared automatically.
I tried to block some services via an app called "servicely" (screenshot attached), but i couldnt stop this crap whatsapp from pushing my data to its servers.
Now i'm here to ask for a more serious and definitive way to make this app cleaner via a deeper editing.
I mean this crap can steal my data bypassing my will so freely?
Help needed I'm going crazy.
F.

Looks like no one got back to you? Did you solve this?

Whatsapp Error

My WhatsApp looks like having difficulties accessing the contacts (as far as I could see). I have noticed this few days ago. I'm on a MIUI 12 root pocophone, custom rom HNPORT 20.5.7. I'm uploading images so you can see what i have installed so far, and what the problem seems to be.

}
I have all the permissions concedes to WhatsApp, and it keeps sending that error. I noticed because, visually, WhatsApp didn't recognize my contact list until I closed it and launched again, and if I don't use it for a few minutes, the problem comes again. I have tried to lock the app so it never closes while in the background, but it keeps happening, so thats why i think it is some root problem.
Have anyone had a similar problem? (maybe with another app a/o another permission).
Edit: Now i just figured it deletes my profile photo everytime it happens too.
