email, extracted from the officer platform
IMAP and Gmail sync into a per-account SQLite store, with the mail read and composed in the browser. moved whole from src/servers/sidecar/email (14 files), src/servers/api/email, officer_db/src/email, and the Screens/Dashboard/Email tree. what changed on the way out: - credentials are encrypted. the column was plaintext jsonb holding an IMAP app password that the SMTP transport read straight out of the row; it is now AES-256-GCM under this plugin's own 'email' secret-store purpose, sealed and opened in queries.ts alone so nothing above it can hold ciphertext by accident. no plaintext fallback on read - a value that does not verify is an error. - the router derives its prefix from mountPrefix() instead of the literal '/api/email', which was only correct for a first-party publisher. - the frontend became panels.ts + layout.ts. the two panel appTypes that were null are now declared, because the platform screen used to override them by panel id and a plugin has no such hook. - account management became a modal. it was a section in the platform's Settings, which a plugin cannot contribute to, and a panel does not work either: PluginScreen renders the workspace locked, so a panel outside the default layout is unreachable. it follows Compose, which had already solved this. - 17 palette classes replaced with semantic tokens. not verified: this has never run. it was switched off in the platform on 2026-08-13 and its table was never created, so nothing has exercised sync, sending or the UI since. the first install is the first test.

# Email
|
||||
|
||||
IMAP and Gmail accounts, synced into a per-account SQLite store on your own machine and searchable offline.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Your mail stays local.** Each account gets its own `emails.db` under the platform's data directory,
|
||||
with an FTS5 index and Gmail-style search operators. Nothing is sent anywhere to be indexed.
|
||||
- **IMAP or Gmail.** Generic IMAP over `imapflow`, or Gmail's history API where an account is connected
|
||||
through the platform's Google integration.
|
||||
- **Real-time.** IMAP IDLE watchers push new mail as it lands, with a slow cron poll as a backstop.
|
||||
- **Composing and sending**, with attachments, over the account's own SMTP.
|
||||
|
||||
## Status — read this before installing
|
||||
|
||||
**This plugin has never been run.** It was extracted from the Officer platform on 2026-08-17, where it had
|
||||
been switched off since 2026-08-13 — its database table was commented out of the schema and therefore never
|
||||
created, so nothing has exercised sync, sending or the UI since. The code is believed good (the sidecar
|
||||
starts cleanly and typechecks) but that is not the same as working.
|
||||
|
||||
Treat the first install as the first test. `docs/email-plugin-extraction.md` in the platform repository
|
||||
records what was moved and what was decided.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **Credentials are stored unencrypted.** `email_accounts.credentials` is a jsonb blob holding the IMAP app
|
||||
password in the clear. The platform has a secret store with per-purpose keys and this plugin does not use
|
||||
it yet. Deliberately left alone during the extraction so that a first-install failure has exactly one
|
||||
possible cause; it is the first thing to fix afterwards.
|
||||
- **The `email_db` agent tool is not part of this plugin.** It is resolved at runtime from `PI_TOOLS_DIRS`
|
||||
and the platform points it at the account's SQLite store. The email chat panel's prompt assumes it exists.
|
||||
- **Account management placement is unsettled** — see the extraction doc.
