name: jmap-email description: Enables JMAP email operations using Node.js and jmap-jam library. Use when working with JMAP email servers, FastMail, Cyrus IMAP, Stalwart Mail Server, or when user mentions email search, reading, sending, or mailbox management.

JMAP Email Access

Access JMAP email servers (FastMail, Cyrus IMAP, Stalwart) using pre-built scripts.

Prerequisites

Environment variables must be set before launching Claude Code:

• JMAP_SESSION_URL - JMAP server session URL
• JMAP_BEARER_TOKEN - Authentication bearer token
• JMAP_ACCOUNT_ID - Account ID (optional, auto-detected)

Available Scripts

Choose the right script:

• Browse recent emails? → Use list-emails.ts (supports --unread, --flagged, --mailbox, --from, --limit filters)
• Search by sender? → Use list-emails.ts --from "sender@example.com"
• Search for multiple keywords? → Use search-keywords.ts keyword1 keyword2 ...
• Get full email content? → Use get-email.ts with email ID
• View folder structure? → Use list-mailboxes.ts
• Move emails by ID? → Use move-by-ids.ts --mailbox <name> <id1> <id2> ...
• Delete emails? → Use delete-emails.ts <id1> <id2> ...

All scripts support --help for detailed usage.

Common Tasks

Browse unread emails

node scripts/list-emails.ts --unread
node scripts/list-emails.ts --unread --limit 50

Find emails from specific sender

node scripts/list-emails.ts --from "sender@example.com"
node scripts/list-emails.ts --from "sender@example.com" --unread

Search for receipts or specific content

node scripts/search-keywords.ts "invoice" "receipt" "order confirmation"
node scripts/search-keywords.ts --mailbox "Archive" --limit 10 "meeting" "agenda"

Note: Search shows previews only. For full email content, use get-email.ts with the email ID.

Get full email content

node scripts/get-email.ts <email-id>

Organize emails (classification workflow)

1. Search for candidates: search-keywords.ts "keyword1" "keyword2"
2. Review previews and identify relevant email IDs
3. (Optional) View full content: get-email.ts <email-id>
4. Move to target mailbox: move-by-ids.ts --mailbox @MailboxName id1 id2 id3

Interactive email triage

Workflow for processing new emails with learning:

1. Fetch recent emails:

   • Use list-emails.ts --limit 20 to get batch (optionally add --unread or --mailbox "Inbox")
   • Review subject, sender, and preview

2. Present classification options:

   • Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect for each email
   • Options should be target mailboxes (Inbox, Archive, @Reference, etc.)
   • Allow user to select destination for each email

3. Execute moves:

   • Group emails by target mailbox
   • Use move-by-ids.ts --mailbox <name> <id1> <id2> ... for each group

4. Save routing patterns to memory:

   • Note sender domains and subjects that map to specific mailboxes
   • Record user's classification decisions (e.g., "newsletters from X → Archive")
   • Reference these patterns in future triage sessions
   • Suggest automatic routing rules based on observed patterns

Benefits:

• Process inbox in batches with interactive guidance
• Build up routing knowledge over time
• Suggest classifications based on past decisions
• Gradually automate common routing patterns
