What problem does it solve?
This Skill enables command-line management of email so users and automation scripts can read, search, compose, send, and organize messages without a graphical client or manual webmail interaction.
Core Features & Use Cases
- List and navigate folders: browse mailboxes and paginate envelopes for quick triage.
- Read and export messages: view plain text, export raw MIME, and download attachments for processing.
- Compose and send reliably: construct messages with template write and template send pipelines for non-interactive automation, including MML composition; fallback to SMTP libraries for complex attachments.
- Search, move, and organize: perform server-side searches, move/copy messages, manage flags, and handle multiple accounts and backends (IMAP, SMTP, Notmuch).
Quick Start
