API

[JonathanN1203]

Hi,

is it planed to provide an api to add new email accounts?

[s1t5]

Absolutely! The API also comes with a focus on the integration of installed mail clients.

Perfect, I would find a function useful that could create the email accounts via API, then you can create a new mailbox directly on the mail server via script and add it to the archive

Would love to be able to use APIs to create custom cleanup rules till the feature get implemented in main application :)

+1 for an API. I'd like to have access to an API that allows searching, deletion, and metadata (changing account/folder; maybe some other meta-data headers (notes, labels- if there are any such things that are widely supported by imap...).

Would love to be able figure out my own "advanced" filtering/cleanup algorithms, whether it be using statistics, AI, or just a bunch of if-then statements ;-).

Because I needed an API immediatelly, I created (vibe-coded) a small service that queries the database directly and can be added easily as service to a mail-archiver docker compose project:

Hello everyone! An API and an MCP are now available! Currently it is read only to access the archive
