What apple-mail does

The skill works with Apple Mail.app through AppleScript and SQLite. It can search for messages, read them, send new email, reply, delete messages, and change read status. Several message IDs can be handled in one call. Fast search queries a temporary copy of the database, so Mail.app can stay open.

It requires macOS, sqlite3, and a running Mail.app. List and search scripts use cached data, so run scripts/mail-refresh.sh before looking for the latest messages. Gmail folders such as Sent Mail need the [Gmail]/ prefix: use [Gmail]/Sent Mail as the mailbox name.

Check the recipient before sending; the skill’s instructions call this out. Mail.app also adds a blank line at the start of sent messages, and the script cannot bypass that behavior.

What it helps with

  • find messages with a search query
  • read messages by ID
  • send an email or reply to a message
  • delete several messages by ID
  • mark messages as read or unread

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find emails matching “invoice” and show the recent results.
  • Read the messages with IDs 12345 and 12346.
  • Reply to message 12345 and confirm that you received it.
