Imbox is a Python library and CLI for reading IMAP mailboxes and converting email content into machine-readable JSON data. It is designed for agentic workflows, letting scripts or AI agents fetch, filter, and export emails via environment-variable configuration.

Use cases

• fetch emails from an imap server in python
• export mailbox messages to json for an ai agent
• filter unread emails by sender or date from the terminal
• parse email content into machine readable data
• automate email processing in workflows
• query gmail with raw search filters from cli

When to choose

• you need programmatic IMAP access with structured JSON output
• you are building agentic or automated email workflows in Python
• you want a simple CLI to fetch and filter emails without writing code

When to avoid

• you need to send or compose emails - it only reads mailboxes
• you need a full email client with a GUI
• you need POP3 or non-IMAP mail protocols
