Frank has a full email client built into the Web UI — IMAP for reading, SMTP for sending, with an AI ghostwriter that drafts replies in 8 languages.
Setup
Configure in Frank's settings:
- IMAP server (e.g.,
imap.gmail.com:993) - SMTP server (e.g.,
smtp.gmail.com:587) - Email address + app password (not your main password — use an app-specific password)
Features
Reading Email
The Mail page in the Web UI shows your inbox. Frank fetches headers via IMAP, displays sender, subject, date. Click to read the full message.
AI Ghostwriter
Select a received email → click "Draft Reply" → Frank reads the email, understands the context, and writes a reply. You can control:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Language | English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese |
| Tone | Professional, Casual, Friendly, Formal |
| Length | Short, Medium, Detailed |
The draft appears as an editable textarea. Review, modify, then send — Frank never sends without your approval.
Composing
Write new emails with AI assistance. Describe what you want to say → Frank drafts it in your chosen tone and language. Or write it yourself — the editor is a plain textarea.
Privacy
All email processing happens locally. Your email content never leaves your machine. The LLM reads the email in-context to generate the reply, then the context is discarded. No cloud APIs, no email forwarding, no data retention beyond your local IMAP cache.
