It speaks JSON-RPC over stdio, so any MCP client can +spawn it as a subprocess. -10 MCP tools. Multi-account. Attachment-safe. +Written in Rust. RFC-correct outbound headers, `multipart/alternative` for +HTML+text, `multipart/mixed` for attachments, and proper `In-Reply-To` / +`References` threading. Multi-account. Attachment-safe. + +## Features + +- **10 mail tools** covering send, browse, read, search, threading, folder + management, flagging, attachments, and replies. +- **Multi-account** — every tool takes an optional `account` argument; the + default account comes from config. +- **Read-safe** — reads use IMAP `BODY.PEEK`, so listing or reading a message + never silently flips the `\Seen` flag. UIDs are used everywhere (stable across + `SELECT`), never sequence numbers. +- **Correct on the wire** — `Date`, `Message-ID` (qualified with your own + domain, never the container hostname), `MIME-Version`, `User-Agent`, and the + right `Content-Type` for each body shape. +- **Secrets stay out of the config** — passwords are resolved from an + environment variable or a referenced file, never inlined. ## Tools -- `mail_send` — `account?`, `to`, `cc[]?`, `bcc[]?`, `subject`, `body`, `body_html?`, `attachments[]?`, `in_reply_to?`, `references[]?`. Returns `{message_id, sent_at}`. -- `mail_inbox_list` — newest-first listing. `account?`, `since?` (YYYY-MM-DD), `unread_only?`, `limit?` (default 50, max 500), `folder?` (default INBOX). Uses `BODY.PEEK` so it does not toggle `\Seen`. -- `mail_inbox_read` — fetch one message by UID. `account?`, `uid`, `folder?`, `format?` (`text` | `html` | `raw_eml`). Attachment payloads are not inlined — only `{filename, mime_type, size}` metadata. RFC822.SIZE pre-flight rejects messages > 20 MB. -- `mail_folder_list` — `account?`. Enumerates IMAP mailboxes. Returns `[{name, delimiter, attributes, selectable}]`. -- `mail_search` — raw IMAP SEARCH passthrough. `account?`, `query`, `folder?`, `limit?`. CR/LF and `{N}` literal-form are rejected. -- `mail_thread` — `account?`, `message_id`, `folder?`, `limit?`. Seed Message-ID → matches seed + any message whose `References` / `In-Reply-To` contains the seed. Oldest-first. -- `mail_move` — `account?`, `uid`, `from_folder?`, `to_folder`. UID MOVE (RFC 6851) with COPY + STORE + EXPUNGE fallback. -- `mail_mark` — `account?`, `uid`, `action` (`read` / `unread` / `flagged` / `unflagged` / `trash` / `archive`), `folder?`. `archive` errors out — stock Dovecot has no canonical Archive folder. -- `mail_attachment_get` — `account?`, `uid`, `attachment_index`, `folder?`. Fetches the N-th attachment as base64. -- `mail_reply` — `account?`, `uid`, `body`, `body_html?`, `attachments?`, `reply_all?`, `to_override?`, `folder?`.
