A self-hosted IMAP layer that gives agents, scripts, and apps HTTP, OpenAPI, and MCP access to mailboxes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The project runs on the user’s machine, binds to loopback by default, and presents one mail interface through HTTP, OpenAPI, and an MCP stdio client. Its visible operation set includes reading, searching, listing folders, moving messages, setting flags, and optionally sending mail after SMTP is enabled. The quick start uses a local Node-based build, while the API example targets port 8787 and authenticates with a bridge token.
