- β Email classification with LLM
- β Action queuing and approval
- β Basic email operations (archive, trash, flag, read)
- β³ UI/index.html updates for Mail setup wizard
- β³ Real email sending (draft generation only)
- β³ Calendar integration (optional)
- β³ Performance optimization under heavy load
- β³ Multi-account support (future)
- Mail client requires IMAP-compatible provider
- Unsubscribe requires List-Unsubscribe header in email
- AppleScript fallback limited to macOS Mail.app
- Local LLM (Ollama) must be running separately
β Secure:
- Passwords stored locally in SQLite (encrypted with full-disk encryption)
- No cloud API calls required
- No credentials logged
- Use app-specific passwords instead of main account password
- Enable full-disk encryption on your Mac
- Regularly backup
gmail_ai.dbdatabase file - Don't share credentials in logs or commits
| Operation | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IMAP connect | ~500ms | Depends on network |
| Fetch 30 emails | ~2-3s | Full body parsing |
| Classify 30 emails | ~10-30s | Depends on LLM model |
| Archive email | ~200ms | IMAP move operation |
