Last updated 12 November 2026. Mail Access Tool is a personal utility that works with a single Gmail account. This page explains how it handles email.
Once access is granted through Google sign-in, the tool can read, label and draft emails in that Gmail account, and save selected attachments. The Google permission it requests is "read, compose and send emails, and manage labels" (gmail.modify).
All processing happens on the computer the tool runs on. No email is sent to an outside server, shared, sold or used for advertising. The tool has no other users and collects no information about anyone.
The Google sign-in is kept in a private, access-restricted file on that computer. Saved attachments stay in local folders.
Information received from Google is handled under the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Access can be removed at any time in the Google Account security settings, under third-party connections. The tool then stops working.
