# MailDrop — macOS Install

## Quick Start

1. Move the `MailDrop` folder wherever you like (Applications, Desktop, wherever)

2. **First launch:** Right-click `MailDrop.app` → Open → Open
   (macOS blocks unsigned apps on first run — this is normal, one-time only)

3. Edit `maildrop.toml` to set your paths and name:
   ```
   [paths]
   inbox = "~/Documents/maildrop/inbox"
   outbox = "~/Documents/maildrop/inbox/outbox"

   [user]
   name = "Your Name"
   ```

4. **Pin inbox to Dock:** Drag `~/Documents/maildrop/inbox/` to the right side
   of your Dock for one-drag email conversion.

5. **Drag emails from Outlook to Finder first** (Desktop, Downloads, or the
   inbox folder). Direct drag from Outlook to MailDrop won't work.

## What's in the box

- `MailDrop.app` — the application
- `maildrop.toml` — configuration (edit this)
- `USER_GUIDE.md` — full documentation

## No AI inside

MailDrop has no API keys, no cloud calls, no telemetry. It converts .eml files
to clean markdown locally. You give the markdown to your AI — Claude, ChatGPT,
Copilot, Gemini, whatever you have access to.
