- For
- People who want AI-assisted mailbox search without mailbox modification
- Worth noticing
- Searches have a stated budget, and each call is recorded with its client, tool, and outcome.
Field notes
The documented workflow uses a mailbox-specific app password, an MCP endpoint, and a compatible AI client rather than a separate desktop application. Examples show searches across senders, dates, folders, and long threads, while the project describes encrypted credential storage and OAuth 2.1 access. A self-hosting route is available through Docker, and the stated safeguards include per-call audit records plus a search budget to limit runaway queries.
