Stillmail

Only the mail that needs you. The rest is still there.

Stillmail reads your mail as it arrives, files what doesn’t need you, and explains every call in one line. Nothing gets deleted, and you can overrule any of it.

Works with Gmail. Outlook coming soon.

You get too much mail. Almost none of it needs you.

Ninety-odd messages a day, and maybe four of them are waiting on you. The rest isn’t spam and isn’t a mistake. It’s receipts, notices, newsletters, build output, someone copying you in so nobody can say you weren’t told. None of it is wrong. It’s just not for today.

So you read all of it anyway, because now and then one of them does need you.

Noise doesn’t look like noise.

“Awaiting your approval”

In a template that said the same words to four hundred other people.

A build that ran

And reported nothing wrong, for the ninth time today.

An invoice

Which is only a notification, and still needs answering.

A filter only matches what a message is: this sender, this domain, these words in the subject. It can’t tell you what one means. So the job falls to you. Read everything, find the four, and never quite shake the feeling you missed one.

Rules match patterns. Stillmail reads meaning.

Plain rules and sender history go first, because most mail is obvious and shouldn’t cost anything to sort. What’s left goes to a model that reads the message and works out where it belongs, whether someone is waiting on an answer, and whether it leaves you something to do.

Then it tells you why. One line, every time.

Every decision looks like this. Disagree with one and you move it back.

It arrives already knowing how you file.

  1. Connect your mailbox

    Two minutes, and separate from signing in. You are giving permission to file your mail, not to delete it. Disconnect whenever you like and the credentials go with it.

  2. It reads back over your last 90 days

    Headers only: senders, subjects and dates. Enough to work out who you actually reply to and who you archive unread. No bodies are stored, and nothing already in your inbox is moved or relabelled. Skipping is fine — it just leans harder on the model for the first few days.

  3. It sorts, and shows its work

    Every decision lands on one page with the reason it was made. Quiet mode starts off, so nothing vanishes while you’re still making up your mind.

  4. You correct it once

    Move a message by hand in Gmail; that counts as a correction. Overnight, the pattern in your corrections turns into a rule you can read.

Six things a filter can’t do.

It knows what you owe

Two marks sit beside each label: someone is waiting on your reply, or there’s something here to do. They clear themselves once you’ve dealt with it — replied, starred, or just archived.

It chases your own asks

Stillmail reads your sent mail. Ask someone for something and it never comes back, you’ll hear about it, rather than remembering three weeks later.

It bins the noise and never empties the bin

Cron output, log dumps, monitoring reporting nothing wrong: marked read on arrival, binned after a week. Binned, not deleted. It sits in the trash where you can still get it back, and Stillmail never takes it further.

Nothing moves until you’re sure

Describe a rule in a sentence and you’ll see which of your last 2,000 messages it would have caught, before you save it. Anything the model isn’t sure about waits for you instead of guessing.

The day in one line

A daily digest of what’s still open, each item one click from the thread. Sent from your own account. No tracking, no images.

Nothing to leave behind

It’s all ordinary Gmail labels, the kind you could have made yourself. Nothing breaks if you walk away, and disconnecting revokes the token and deletes the credentials.

Less noise. But the same mail.

Quieting an inbox usually means giving something up. This doesn’t. Everything Stillmail moves is still in your account, under a label you could have made yourself.

  • It never deletes anything

    The worst it does is move mail to the trash, where Gmail keeps it for 30 days. It never empties the trash.

  • It never stars anything

    That one is left to you. Which is what lets a star still mean something.

  • It stores no message bodies

    Sender, subject, date, and the decision, for 90 days. When the cheap layers can’t settle a message, its first 500 characters go out for classification and are thrown away as soon as the answer comes back. None of it trains a model.

  • It asks for the smaller permission

    Gmail’s gmail.modify scope, not full account access. Stillmail can’t permanently delete your mail. Not won’t — can’t.

Questions people ask first.

Does it work with Outlook?
Not yet. Gmail today, and Outlook support is coming. If you’re on Outlook, ask for an invite anyway and we’ll tell you when it lands.
What can Stillmail actually do to my mail?
File messages under a label, mark them read or unread, archive them, and move them to the trash when you’ve called a sender noise. That’s the whole vocabulary. There’s no delete, and it never empties the trash.
Will it move things before I trust it?
No. Quiet mode is off when you start, so you watch it work first. Every decision it makes lands on one page with the reason for it, and anything the model isn’t confident about waits for your call instead of moving.
What does the AI actually see?
The sender, the subject, the list it came from, whether you’re on the To line or copied in, how many other people got it, whether you’ve ever replied to this sender, and at most the first 500 characters of the body. Only when plain rules and sender history couldn’t settle it.
Is my mail used to train a model?
No. What is sent for classification is discarded as soon as the answer comes back, and nothing is used to train any model.
What happens when it gets one wrong?
Move the message where it belongs, in Gmail or in Stillmail. That counts as a correction, and your recent corrections ride along with the next judgement as precedent. Overnight the pattern in them is read back and turned into a durable rule you can see and edit.
Why do I need an invite code?
Stillmail is in a small pilot while the sorting is tuned against real mailboxes. Ask for an invite and you’ll get a code when a seat opens.
What if I stop using it?
Everything Stillmail did is ordinary Gmail labels, so nothing breaks when you leave. Disconnecting revokes the token with Google, stops the watch, and deletes the credentials. You can delete the decision history at the same time.
