# Gmail IMAP Digest
Use this skill when a user wants a daily roundup of newsletter-style email pulled over IMAP, filtered to sources they actually trust. It reads inbox messages since a cutoff, keeps only allowlisted sender domains, and renders a compact digest you can pipe straight into an alert. Works with any IMAP provider; Gmail just needs an app-password with IMAP enabled.
## When to invoke
- User says: "build a daily email digest" / "fetch my newsletters" / "summarize my inbox each morning" / "IMAP fetch"
- Code in the conversation uses: scheduled inbox reads, sender filtering, or a morning roundup job.
## When NOT to invoke
- The user wants to send mail (SMTP), not read it.
- The integration should use a provider's OAuth API (Gmail API) rather than plain IMAP.
## Concrete example
User input:
```text
Every morning, pull anything new from my three AI newsletters and give me a one-line-per-item digest.
```
Output:
```python
# Copy assets/imap_fetch.py into your project, then:
from imap_fetch import fetch_digest, render_digest
rows = fetch_digest(since_hours=24, allow={"newsletter.example.com", "digest.example.org"})
print(render_digest(rows))
# Daily digest - 2 item(s):
# - Weekly model roundup (news@newsletter.example.com)
# - New tools this week (hello@digest.example.org)
```
The helper reads `IMAP_HOST`, `IMAP_USER`, and `IMAP_APP_PASSWORD` from the environment. See `assets/.env.example` for the placeholder file.
