# Inboxed
A desktop email client for all your accounts in one place. Built with Tauri, SvelteKit, Tailwind and Go.
- One unified inbox across every account, or one account at a time
- Two-way IMAP sync: read, star, archive and trash show up on your other devices
- New-mail notifications and a Dock badge
- Compose, reply, forward and drafts over SMTP
- HTML mail shown safely: no scripts, and remote images blocked until you load them
- Full-text search, light and dark themes
## Status
Early and macOS-only. Accounts connect over IMAP and SMTP with a password. Gmail, Yahoo and iCloud need an app password. Personal Outlook.com accounts can't connect, since Microsoft turned off password sign-in for them.
Your password is kept in the macOS keychain. Mail is stored in a local SQLite database in `~/Library/Application Support/dev.inboxed.app`. Nothing goes anywhere except your mail servers.
## Requirements
Node, Rust, Go, and the Tauri prerequisites.
## Develop
 [code] 
To work on the UI in a plain browser with demo mail, run the engine with seed data next to Vite:
 [code] 
with a `.env.development.local` containing:
 [code] 
`npm run tauri dev` doesn't rebuild the engine when Go files change; run `npm run build:engine`.
## Test
 [code] 
## How it fits together
Three processes:
1. **UI** (`src/`): a static SvelteKit SPA (Svelte 5, Tailwind v4).
2. **Shell** (`src-tauri/`): a thin Tauri v2 app that starts the engine and tells the UI how to reach it.
3. **Engine** (`engine/`): a Go sidecar that owns all mail logic: IMAP sync, SMTP sending, storage and search.
The UI talks to the engine's HTTP API on `127.0.0.1`. Every request carries a per-launch token, and only the app's own origin is allowed.
