Private processing
Mailbox metadata is processed into snapshots on the user's own computer.
Private personal utility
See what needs attention.
Leave the mail untouched.
William Email Metadata Reader is a small, local tool for organizing a few mailboxes belonging to William and people who knowingly participate. It reads only the envelope information needed to build a private triage snapshot.
Gmail access: metadata only
01 / Scope
A deliberately narrow view
The tool can identify a message and describe its envelope. It cannot open the letter.
What it reads
- Message IDs and mailbox labels
- Dates and standard addressing headers
- Subject and Message-ID headers
What it does not do
- Message bodies or attachment contents
- Sending, deleting, labeling, or changing mail
- Advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking
02 / Principles
Local by default.
Useful on purpose.
No commercial use
User data is not sold, shared for advertising, or used to train a public model.
User-controlled access
Google access can be revoked at any time, and locally stored snapshots remain under the user's control.
03 / Details
Plain language, exact boundary.
Read the complete description of collection, storage, sharing, retention, and deletion.
