01 — How it works

Three steps. No plugin, no new inbox.

MailTag works inside the email app you already use. Labels just appear.

MailTag reads each new email and files it as Urgent, Needs reply, FYI, Newsletter, Receipt, Promotion or Notification — as a Gmail label or IMAP folder. You open your inbox and know exactly what to do first.

01

Connect your mailbox

Paste an app password for Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo or any IMAP server. No OAuth screens, no access to your main password.

02

Pick your categories

Start with the defaults or write your own — each one is just a name and a one-line description.

03

Let it run

Every 5 minutes MailTag reads new mail and applies a label (Gmail) or keyword/folder (other IMAP). Every decision shows up in your activity log with a confidence score.

02 — Try it

Paste an email. Watch it pick.

This is the real classifier running on our servers, with the default categories. Nothing you type is stored.

03 — Why it's accurate

It doesn't write. It picks.

Most "AI inbox" tools send your email to a chatbot and hope the reply contains a valid label. MailTag uses the OpenJev "semantic if" technique: the model reads the probability of every category you allow in a single forward pass, and the highest one wins.

  • Can't hallucinate a label. The output is always one of your categories — there is nothing else it can return.
  • Deterministic. Same email, same category. No temperature, no prompt roulette.
  • A real confidence score. Every label comes with a probability, not a guess dressed up as certainty.
  • Fast and cheap. One forward pass instead of generating text — that's how we can price at $9.
  • Open-weight models we host. Your email is never sent to OpenAI, Google or any third-party AI API.

04 — Webhooks & API

Route the important stuff where you work.

Attach an outgoing webhook to any category. Send every Urgent email to Slack, every Receipt to your bookkeeping Zap, every Needs reply to your task list.

  • Per-category webhooks on every plan — works with Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make and n8n.
  • Signed requests. Every delivery carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature in the X-MailTag-Signature header.
  • Triage API (Pro). Classify any email over HTTP — plug it into Postmark inbound, Cloudflare Email Workers or Mailgun routes.

05 — Privacy & security

Built to touch your email as little as possible.

MailTag has one job: add a label. Everything else is locked down.

Encrypted credentials

IMAP app passwords are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We never see or store your main account password.

Content not stored

Email content is processed in memory and discarded. We keep only sender, subject, category and confidence for your 30-day activity log.

Labels only

MailTag never sends email and never deletes email. It only adds labels, keywords or folders.

Revoke in one click

Delete the app password in your provider's settings and our access ends instantly. No support ticket needed.

07 — FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I create a Gmail app password?
  1. Turn on 2-Step Verification for your Google account (required for app passwords).
  2. Go to myaccount.google.com/apppasswords.
  3. Name it "MailTag" and click Create.
  4. Copy the 16-character password and paste it into MailTag along with your Gmail address.
Make sure IMAP is enabled in Gmail settings (Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP). On Google Workspace, your admin may need to allow app passwords.
Does it work with Outlook / Microsoft 365?
Not yet. Microsoft no longer allows app passwords for IMAP on Outlook.com and most Microsoft 365 tenants, so MailTag can't connect to them today. Native Microsoft sign-in is on the roadmap — email us and we'll notify you when it ships. Tip: if you forward Outlook mail to Gmail, MailTag works there.
What other providers are supported?
Gmail / Google Workspace, iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo and any provider that offers IMAP access with an app password.
Is my email stored? Who reads it?
No email content is stored. Messages are processed in memory by open-weight models running on our own servers — never sent to OpenAI, Google or any other AI provider. We keep only the sender, subject, assigned category and confidence score for your activity log, for 30 days. Your app password is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and automatically deleted 7 days after your trial or subscription ends.
Can MailTag send or delete my email?
No. MailTag never sends email and never deletes email. It only adds labels (Gmail) or keywords/folders (other IMAP providers).
Can I create my own categories?
Yes. Rename, remove or add categories — each one is a name plus a one-line description, like "Investors — emails from current or prospective investors". Custom categories are included on every plan.
What happens after the free trial? How do I cancel?
The trial lasts 7 days (up to 300 emails) and needs no credit card. To keep going, pick Solo or Pro. You can cancel anytime from the Stripe customer portal linked in your account — no emails, no calls.
How do I disconnect MailTag?
Delete the mailbox in MailTag, or simply delete the app password in your email provider's settings — access stops immediately. Deleting your MailTag account removes your data.
