Field notes
The setup flow connects supported mail accounts, installs Ollama, and downloads a model to run locally. For work mail, the site says Mailgist can use accounts already configured in the Mac Mail app, without asking for their passwords. Its read-only design is described as avoiding message changes, while optional technical events can be switched off.
