EmailOps
What EmailOps is
EmailOps is a free, open-source email client for Linux, macOS, and Windows that runs AI on the user's computer. It connects Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and providers available through IMAP/SMTP, bringing accounts into one inbox for reading, replying, and triage. AI features include mailbox chat, reply drafts, classification, semantic search, translation, and thread summaries. Users can browse, preview, and export attachments from one view. An embedded local AI backend is the default, and the app can use an existing Ollama server; paid OpenRouter is an optional remote service. When OpenRouter is enabled, email content in prompts is sent to that provider. EmailOps says mail and calendar data are stored in a local SQLite database, with no backend, cloud sync, telemetry, or in-app analytics. Credentials are kept in the operating system's secure credential store, network traffic uses TLS, and message HTML is sanitized before display. Local AI needs suitable hardware: at least 8 GB unified memory on Apple Silicon, or 8 GB GPU VRAM or 16 GB system RAM without a GPU on Windows or Linux. AI can be disabled for plain email use.
