v3.2.0: Optional email sending restriction

Mail.app CLI 3.2.0 adds an optional sending restriction for workflows where you want to read mail and prepare drafts without sending messages.

Disable sending

Save the restriction in your configuration:

mail-app-cli config set send.enabled false

Or disable sending for one invocation with the global flag:

mail-app-cli --no-send tui

The restriction covers send, drafts send, replies, reply-all, forwards, and sending from the TUI. Blocked CLI sends exit with status 1 and explain that email sending is disabled. The TUI keeps your composed text available to save as a draft.

Draft creation and management, reading mail, and dry-run previews remain available. Sending stays enabled by default. --no-send=false cannot override a stored restriction.

Use mail-app-cli config show to inspect the effective setting and its source. Restore the default with mail-app-cli config unset send.enabled, or explicitly enable sending with mail-app-cli config set send.enabled true.

Install or update

CGO_ENABLED=1 go install github.com/0xSMW/mail.app-cli/v3/cmd/mail-app-cli@v3.2.0

Requires macOS, Go 1.25 or newer, and Xcode Command Line Tools. Keep Automation and Full Disk Access enabled for the app running the CLI.
