What this skill does

The skill connects to standard IMAP/SMTP servers to check new mail, fetch content, search mailboxes, mark messages read or unread, and send email. Mailbox credentials can expose the account, while sending transmits messages and attachments from it. Use a limited account and protected credential storage, keep TLS certificate verification enabled, and confirm each recipient, body, and attachment before sending. Limit attachment downloads to a controlled directory and prevent overwrites.
