Maya Lin Launch notes for review
Two details before Thursday…
Work · GmailNative email for macOS
All of your email.
AI on your terms.
Cove Mail brings iCloud, Gmail, and standard IMAP accounts into a focused Mac app—with an optional way to bring your own AI to email. Read, search, write, and organize mail without giving up the way your Mac should feel.
The AI connection is optional. Cove Mail is a complete email client without it.

Provider independent
Multiple inboxes.
One native app.
Bring iCloud Mail, Gmail, and manually configured IMAP/SMTP accounts into Cove Mail without losing their separate identities. Move between accounts and mailboxes in one consistent Mac experience while provider differences stay behind the scenes.
- ✓ Distinct inboxes for every account
- ✓ Search across one or every account
- ✓ Sync and health for each account
Optional by design
Bring your own AI.
Keep your own boundaries.
AI access to email is often treated as all or nothing. Cove Mail takes a more deliberate approach: connect a compatible cloud assistant or local model, then choose the accounts and capabilities it can use.

Choose the assistant
Use a compatible cloud assistant or local model rather than an AI provider chosen by Cove Mail.
Choose the accounts
Scope the connection to the email accounts you want. Adding an account does not have to broaden access.
Choose the capabilities
Metadata, message bodies, drafts, sending, and deletion are separately permissioned, with confirmation for sensitive actions.
Local by default
Your mail stays close to home.
Cove Mail keeps account configuration, cached mail, search, drafts, rules, and activity on your Mac. Credentials remain protected by macOS Keychain and are never returned through MCP.
Read the Privacy PolicyThe complete client
Everything email needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.
Search every inbox efficiently
Find messages across connected accounts using sender, recipient, subject, date, flags, and attachment details—without guessing which inbox holds them.
Read without friction
Open full messages and review attachment details normally, with the information you need available directly in the app.
Use familiar email workflows
Compose, save drafts, reply, forward, organize mail, add attachments, and send from account-specific identities and signatures.
Work offline and stay informed
Keep selected mailboxes, messages, and attachments available offline while seeing sync, indexing, Outbox, and recovery status clearly.
