Scam guard
InboxScout now looks at every new email for the shapes scams take, on your computer, with plain rules. No AI helper is needed and nothing is sent anywhere.
It catches a "bank" writing from a free mailbox, a company name on an address that is not the company's, a grandchild who suddenly needs gift cards or a wire, a prize that needs a fee first, a "renewal" with a number to call, blackmail, pressure to act within 24 hours, requests to confirm a password or account number, and links that hide where they go. Thirty-five well-known companies and offices (PayPal, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, the IRS, Social Security, Medicare, the big banks, the parcel carriers, the antivirus vendors, and more) are known with their real addresses, so mail that truly comes from them is left alone.
When something looks wrong:
- It is the first card on Today, in red, with the reasons in plain words and one line of advice ("Call that person yourself, on the number you already have").
- A likely scam is filed under promotions and can never appear as a chore under Needs you or Waiting on a reply.
- Read aloud says it first. The morning report and Send me my brief get a "Looks like a scam" section at the top.
- A trusted helper gets a heads-up of its own, naming the sender and subject only.
Nothing is deleted or moved. The card says so. Details: docs/SCAM-GUARD.md.
Stop these emails
In Inbox review, newsletters and promotions that offer an unsubscribe link now show a Stop these emails button. It opens the sender's own unsubscribe page in your browser (or a ready-to-send message in your mail app). InboxScout still never sends anything itself.
