DispatchMail - An open-source AI email assistant that automates email management.

What is DispatchMail?

DispatchMail is an open-source, locally running AI email assistant that automates inbox management using AI technology. The tool monitors emails in real time, using OpenAI's AI Agent to intelligently process and analyze emails based on user-defined prompts. It provides a locally running web interface supporting features such as email filtering, draft generation, automatic archiving, and in-depth sender research. All data is stored in a local SQLite database, ensuring user privacy and data security.

The technical principles of DispatchMail

• Local operation and privacy protectionDispatchMail is a locally running application; all data is stored in a local SQLite database, ensuring that user data is never uploaded to the cloud and protecting user privacy. The SQLite database is used to store email content, user configurations, AI-processed prompts and results, giving users complete control over their data.
• Email processing workflowThis system connects to the user's Gmail account via the IMAP protocol and periodically retrieves new emails. Users configure whitelist rules through a web interface, filtering emails based on sender, subject, or AI rules to determine which emails require AI processing. Filtered emails are sent to OpenAI's API for processing; the AI model analyzes, categorizes, and generates draft replies based on user-defined prompts. The processing results are stored in a local database, and users can view and manage them through the web interface.
• Web InterfaceDispatchMail's web interface is built using the React framework, providing a user-friendly interactive experience. The backend uses the Flask framework to build a web API, providing RESTful interfaces for functions such as email retrieval, AI-processed requests, data storage, and user management. The web interface communicates with the backend using polling or WebSocket to obtain email updates and AI processing results in real time, ensuring users can view and manage emails promptly.
