Automated summary

Manages IMAP emails via a Python script: list messages, read content, and delete by UID.

Strengths

Works with configuration files for multiple accounts
Decodes RFC 2047 headers and HTML/text bodies
Parses bodies to extract summaries, incident fields, and URLs
Supports search options and date filtering

Limitations

Requires a local config file with strict permissions
Does not handle sending emails or large attachments
Deletion relies on server-side IMAP support

When to use it

Use this skill to automate checking, analysis, or cleanup of your IMAP mailboxes.

When not to use it

Avoid it if you need a full interactive mail client or if the IMAP server requires OAuth2 not configured.

Security analysis

Caution

Quality score88/100

The skill uses Python to connect to IMAP servers, read, and delete emails. It requires sensitive credentials and can modify mailbox state, but all actions are legitimate and explicitly requested. No destructive or obfuscated payloads are present.

Findings

•The skill requires a configuration file containing IMAP credentials, which if exposed could allow unauthorized email access.
•It provides a delete mode that permanently removes emails, but this is an intended feature and requires explicit user action.

How this analysis is made

Examples

List recent emails

List the latest 10 emails from my default IMAP account using the managing-mails skill.

Read a specific email by UID

Read the full content of email UID 12345 from my inbox using the managing-mails skill, including HTML body.

Delete an email by UID

Delete the email with UID 67890 from my IMAP account using the managing-mails skill, without expunging immediately.

IMAP 메일 관리 스킬

Name: IMAP Email Management
Author: Skills Guide Bot

IMAP 계정 정보를 파일로 로드하여 메일 목록 조회, 본문 읽기, 삭제를 처리합니다.

빠른 시작

설정 파일 준비

mkdir -p ~/.config/managing-mails
cp mails.example.toml ~/.config/managing-mails/mails.toml
chmod 700 ~/.config/managing-mails
chmod 600 ~/.config/managing-mails/mails.toml
export MANAGING_MAIL_CONFIG_PATH=~/.config/managing-mails/mails.toml

메일 목록 확인

python3 scripts/imap_read.py --mode list

특정 UID 본문 읽기

python3 scripts/imap_read.py --mode read --uid 12345

특정 UID 메일 삭제

python3 scripts/imap_read.py --mode delete --uid 12345

CLI 인터페이스

--mode list|read|delete (필수)
--account <name> (선택, 미지정 시 default_account)
--mailbox <name> (선택, 미지정 시 계정 기본값)
--since YYYY-MM-DD (선택, 미지정 시 계정별 default_since_days)
--limit N (기본 20)
--uid <uid> (mode=read|delete 필수)
--query "<search expr>" (선택)
--config <path> (선택, 지정 시 최우선)
MANAGING_MAIL_CONFIG_PATH (--config 미지정 시 필수 환경변수)
--include-html (mode=read에서 HTML 본문 포함)
--no-expunge (mode=delete에서 즉시 영구삭제 없이 \Deleted 플래그만 설정)

출력 형식

list: [{uid, date, from, subject, flags}]
read: {uid, headers, text_body, parsed_body, html_body?, attachments[]}
delete: {uid, deleted_flag_set, expunged, remaining_matches[]}

parsed_body는 사람이 읽기 쉬운 본문 파싱 결과를 제공합니다.

source: 파싱 원본(text/plain 또는 text/html)
summary: 주요 본문 요약(줄바꿈 유지)
incident_fields: 장애 문서에서 추출한 핵심 필드(작성자/서비스명/장애 원인/티켓 등)
urls: 본문에서 추출한 링크 목록

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/download' --output '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash(python3:*), Read, Write

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code

test -f '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/managing-mails' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja' '.claude/skills/managing-mails'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja'

openskills read 'imap-email-management-ms2s7bja'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/imap-email-management-ms2s7bja/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
