Fluxmail is self-hosted email infrastructure for agents and apps. It connects to Gmail, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, and IMAP/SMTP mailboxes. Agents use MCP, apps and backend workflows use the versioned REST API, and operators use the CLI to connect mailboxes, manage access, and run the service.

## Features

- 📬 Connect Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, and IMAP/SMTP mailboxes to one instance.
- 🤖 Give agents MCP tools to list, search, read, draft, reply, forward, send, schedule, and organize email.
- 🔌 Use the same mailbox operations from the versioned REST API and CLI.
- 🧵 Fetch complete messages and threads, work across several mailboxes, and download attachments.
- 🗂️ Mark mail as read, star or archive it, move it between folders, send it to Trash, and manage Gmail labels or Outlook categories.
- 🔐 Limit each client to selected mailboxes and actions with permission profiles or custom policies.
- 👥 Add members and share selected mailboxes on Team and Enterprise plans.
- 🏠 Run Fluxmail locally or in Docker while keeping its database and encrypted provider credentials on your infrastructure.

## Get started

Fluxmail requires Node.js 20.20.x, or Node.js 22.22 or later.

```bash
npm install -g fluxmail
fluxmail setup --name "Your name" --email you@example.com

Then follow the [quickstart](https://fluxmail.ai/docs/quickstart) to connect a mailbox and choose how you want to use Fluxmail: MCP, REST API, or CLI.

## Plans and license

The Personal plan supports three mailboxes and one member. Paid plans raise those limits for teams that share an instance. See [Fluxmail pricing](https://fluxmail.ai/pricing) for current details.

Fluxmail is source available under the [Elastic License 2.0](LICENSE.md). You may use, modify, create derivative works, and redistribute Fluxmail subject to that license. Running a fork does not by itself require a paid Fluxmail subscription, and the built-in Personal plan supports three mailboxes and one member without a paid key.

Official Pro and Team entitlements require a valid Fluxmail license key. ELv2 does not allow you to change or circumvent license key functionality, remove protected functionality, or provide Fluxmail itself as a hosted or managed service that exposes a substantial set of its features. Use of the Fluxmail name and logos is also subject to the [Fluxmail Terms of Service](https://fluxmail.ai/terms).
