Clicking "Add Account" on a new install did nothing at all — no modal, no error, nothing in the console. EmailList early-returns an onboarding empty state when there is no mail, and that branch carries the "Add Account" button. But <AccountsModal /> was only mounted in the OTHER return — the one that renders when mail exists. The button flipped the shared EMAIL_ACCOUNTS_OPEN global and nothing was listening. A catch-22, and it closed the only door in: the sole other trigger is in the toolbar, which is also in the mail-exists branch. So an install with no account could never reach the dialog that adds one, and the failure was silent in both directions — nothing threw, and the state flag really did flip. Mount it in both branches. The empty state is exactly when it is needed most. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.dbunder 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.credentialsis 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_dbagent tool is not part of this plugin. It is resolved at runtime fromPI_TOOLS_DIRSand 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.
