Connect any IMAP mailbox for search and read; optionally add SMTP for outgoing mail from workflows. Not Google OAuth.

What is Email?
Email integrations connect your mailbox over IMAP (incoming) and optionally SMTP (outgoing). Use Google Workspace for Gmail, Calendar, and Drive via Google sign-in. Each user stores their own IMAP credentials in Dailify.
Assistant
When your mailbox is connected, the assistant uses built-in email tools (not MCP). It only accesses mail your IMAP login can read.
In chat, ask the assistant to search your inbox, open a thread, or help triage mail. Actions that change your mailbox (delete, move, mark read) only run when you approve the tool call.
- Search your mailbox for messages that match a query
- Read a specific message when you ask about a thread
- Mark read, delete, or move messages only when you approve the action
Workflows
In the workflow builder, add email steps from the Email group and choose your saved integration on each step. Search and get-message steps are often used before send or mailbox actions.
Search messages in a connected email integration over IMAP, using a query resolved from upstream data
Compose and send an email (or save as a draft) using a connected SMTP/IMAP integration; supports expression fields and Supabase storage attachment URLs
Load a single message by IMAP UID from a connected mailbox (headers, flags, optional body previews)
Mark a single message read or unread (IMAP \Seen) in a connected mailbox
Permanently remove a message by IMAP UID (server-specific delete semantics)
File or move a message to another IMAP folder by UID (same path format as your server)

How to connect
- Open Settings → Integrations.
- On the Email card, choose Connect.
- Enter a display name and your IMAP host, port, username, and password for incoming mail.
- Turn on SMTP and fill in outgoing settings only if you need to send mail from workflows.
- Use Test connection, then Connect to save. Your credentials stay on your account only.
Permissions and safety
- Mailbox credentials are stored for your user only and are not shared with other accounts.
- The assistant and workflows use the same saved integration you configure in Settings.
- Use app-specific passwords where your mail provider requires them instead of your main account password.
Tips
- Use an app-specific password if your mail provider requires it for IMAP.
- Enable SMTP in the connect dialog only when you need outbound mail from workflows.
