# IMAP/SMTP Email Tool

Read, search, and manage email via IMAP protocol. Send email via SMTP. Supports Gmail, Outlook, 163.com, vip.163.com, 126.com, vip.126.com, 188.com, vip.188.com, and any standard IMAP/SMTP server.

## Important: Configuration is Pre-configured

The `.env` configuration file is automatically managed by WeSight Settings (邮箱设置). **Do NOT ask the user to create or edit `.env` — just run the commands directly.** If credentials are wrong, the scripts will return a clear error message; only then should you inform the user to check their email settings.

The `.env` file is located in this skill's directory (same folder as this SKILL.md file). The scripts load it automatically via an absolute path, regardless of the current working directory.

## Configuration Reference

Create `.env` in the skill folder or set environment variables:

```bash
# IMAP Configuration (receiving email)
IMAP_HOST=imap.gmail.com          # Server hostname
IMAP_PORT=993                     # Server port
IMAP_USER=your@email.com
IMAP_PASS=your_password
IMAP_TLS=true                     # Use TLS/SSL connection
IMAP_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=true     # Set to false for self-signed certs
IMAP_MAILBOX=INBOX                # Default mailbox

# SMTP Configuration (sending email)
SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com          # SMTP server hostname
SMTP_PORT=587                     # SMTP port (587 for STARTTLS, 465 for SSL)
SMTP_SECURE=false                 # true for SSL (465), false for STARTTLS (587)
SMTP_USER=your@gmail.com          # Your email address
SMTP_PASS=your_password           # Your password or app password
SMTP_FROM=your@gmail.com          # Default sender email (optional)
SMTP_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=true     # Set to false for self-signed certs
```
