email_list_accounts
List all configured email accounts and their connection status
email_add_account
Add a new IMAP or iCloud email account (Gmail and Outlook require the setup wizard for OAuth)
email_remove_account

email_test_account
Test an email account connection
email_list_folders
List all email folders for an account

email_get_thread
Get an email thread by thread ID
email_get_attachment
Get an email attachment by ID, returns base64 encoded data
email_save_attachment
Download an email attachment and save it directly to disk, returning metadata only (no base64 in the response) — avoids paying the token cost of round-tripping large attachments through the calling model. outputPath is relative to a fixed downloads directory (/home/user/.email-mcp/downloads, override with EMAIL_MCP_DOWNLOADS_DIR) and cannot escape it.
