AmiGmail
========
A word about the silicon co-author
----------------------------------
This program was created with extensive AI assistance. That does not mean
security, testing or common sense were handed over to a chatbot. The code was
reviewed, tested on real Amiga systems and developed with security and current
best practices in mind. AI helped to build it; humans still had to make sure
the thing actually works.
Of course, no software can promise absolute security - not even software
written entirely by carbon-based life forms. If AI-assisted code gives you
sleepless nights, makes you fear a Skynet-powered Workbench, or you simply do
not want AI anywhere near your mailbox, please do not use this application.
Your Amiga will not take it personally.
AmiGmail is a native Gmail client for AmigaOS 3.2+ using the ReAction GUI,
IMAP, SMTP and AmiSSL. It is designed specifically for Gmail and is not a
general-purpose IMAP client.
Messages remain on the Gmail server and are accessed directly through IMAP.
AmiGmail does not maintain a local offline mail database.
