Mail Intake — provider-agnostic, read-only email ingestion framework.
Mail Intake is a **contract-first library** designed to ingest, parse, and
normalize email data from external providers (such as Gmail) into clean,
provider-agnostic domain models.
The library is intentionally structured around clear layers, each exposed
as a first-class module at the package root:
- adapters: provider-specific access (e.g. Gmail)
- auth: authentication providers and credential management
- parsers: extraction and normalization of message content
- ingestion: orchestration and high-level ingestion workflows
- models: canonical, provider-agnostic data representations
- config: explicit global configuration
- exceptions: library-defined error hierarchy
The package root acts as a **namespace**, not a facade. Consumers are
expected to import functionality explicitly from the appropriate module.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Install using pip:
pip install mail-intake
Or with Poetry:
poetry add mail-intake
Mail Intake is pure Python and has no runtime dependencies beyond those
required by the selected provider (for example, Google APIs for Gmail).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic Usage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimal Gmail ingestion example:
from mail_intake.ingestion import MailIntakeReader
from mail_intake.adapters import MailIntakeGmailAdapter
from mail_intake.auth import MailIntakeGoogleAuth
auth = MailIntakeGoogleAuth(
credentials_path="credentials.json",
token_path="token.pickle",
scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly"],
)
adapter = MailIntakeGmailAdapter(auth_provider=auth)
reader = MailIntakeReader(adapter)
for message in reader.iter_messages("from:recruiter@example.com"):
print(message.subject, message.from_email)
Iterating over threads:
for thread in reader.iter_threads("subject:Interview"):
print(thread.normalized_subject, len(thread.messages))
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Extensibility Model
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mail Intake is designed to be extensible via **public contracts** exposed
through its modules:
- Users MAY implement their own mail adapters by subclassing
`adapters.MailIntakeAdapter`
- Users MAY implement their own authentication providers by subclassing
`auth.MailIntakeAuthProvider`
Users SHOULD NOT subclass built-in adapter implementations. Built-in
adapters (such as Gmail) are reference implementations and may change
internally without notice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Public API Surface
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The supported public API consists of the following top-level modules:
- mail_intake.ingestion
- mail_intake.adapters
- mail_intake.auth
- mail_intake.parsers
- mail_intake.models
- mail_intake.config
- mail_intake.exceptions
Classes and functions should be imported explicitly from these modules.
No individual symbols are re-exported at the package root.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Design Guarantees
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Read-only access: no mutation of provider state
- Provider-agnostic domain models
- Explicit configuration and dependency injection
- No implicit global state or environment reads
- Deterministic, testable behavior
Mail Intake favors correctness, clarity, and explicitness over convenience
shortcuts.
