SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill diagnoses and repairs email client issues such as failing to send or receive, missing or out-of-order messages, index corruption, database errors, SMTP/IMAP connectivity failures, and permission problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server and certificate diagnostics: Tests SMTP reachability and checks certificate expiry for the user’s mail provider to separate connectivity/TLS issues from client-side problems.
  • Client configuration and health checks: Verifies configured IMAP/SMTP settings and detects when the email client is likely hung or consuming excessive CPU/memory.
  • Targeted repairs with safe escalation: Fixes Apple Mail permissions and rebuilds the mail index when appropriate, repairs Outlook database corruption, and resets preferences only as a last resort.

Quick Start

Use this skill when your email app is not working and say: "Diagnose and fix my email not sending or receiving in Apple Mail or Outlook."
