FAQPage Schema
How do I sync and triage an IMAP inbox locally using SQLite?▼

Local IMAP sync to SQLite enables deterministic inbox triage by indexing emails locally. You run a backfill followed by a refresh to establish a fast, searchable offline inbox managed by rules-based actions.

What is deterministic email triage and how does it work?▼

Deterministic email triage processes your local SQLite inbox using a rules.json file to execute repeatable actions. It categorizes messages into notify, inform, or ignore actions, ensuring auditable and predictable email workflows.

Do I need an OpenAI API key to draft and send emails with this approach?▼

You do not need an OpenAI API key for the standard draft and send workflow via SMTP. The API key is optional for enabling LLM-assisted email composition during the drafting phase.

Can I manage multiple email accounts offline with a local SQLite index?▼

Yes, you can manage multiple email accounts offline by syncing IMAP to a local SQLite index. The draft and send workflow supports multi-account sending via the --mailbox flag.

What is the best way to establish an auditable, repeatable email workflow for teams?▼

The best way to establish auditable email workflows is using a trusted CLI that syncs IMAP to a local SQLite database. This enables deterministic triage via rules.json and repeatable draft and send workflows without leaving the chat interface.
