Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
email-tool lets an AI assistant read, search, draft and send your email. It runs on your own computer, keeps passwords in your operating system's keyring, and is built for organizations under CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171: every action is logged, sending can wait for your approval, and CUI-marked mail stays inside the domains you allow.
