Best for
Operators, support teams, researchers, and anyone building a local, searchable email work queue.
Use it when
You want message identity, metadata, preview, attachment state, and the complete local document linked from one row.
Choose another system when
Do not use a personal mailbox without reviewing retention, access, attachment, and privacy requirements.
A visible structure you can inspect.
These are the real fields, nodes, or visual elements that make the template useful. Rename them when your process differs; do not preserve a field only because it was bundled.
01
Subject, From, To, and Received At — keep visible message identity and order.
02
Mailbox, Preview, Has Attachments, and Status — support operational triage.
03
Message ID — provide a stable idempotency key.
04
Document — open the sanitized local Markdown copy.

Product evidence
What is already real
- The starter contains a 10-field Inbox schema and starts with zero fabricated messages.
- Message ID is preserved for incremental, idempotent sync.
- The complete message is linked as a local Markdown document.
Limits
What this template does not promise
- A mailbox connection is required before real records appear.
- Authentication, attachment, and HTML handling depend on the configured provider.
- The blank starter intentionally contains no fake email content.
