# Ten O'Clock Postman

> Ten O'Clock Postman is an email-sorting assistant for Gmail and Outlook that proposes folder changes from message metadata — sender, subject, date, and folder — and never reads message bodies. Nothing moves until you approve it, and every change can be undone.

## What the assistant is shown
- Sender name and email address
- Subject line
- Date received
- Current folder or label
- Read / unread and flagged status
- Your folder and label structure

## What is never fetched, stored, or sent to any model
- Message bodies — the text of your emails
- Attachments
- Full thread or conversation content
- Anything in Trash

## What the app is built to be incapable of
- Send mail or reply on your behalf
- Permanently delete a message
- Move anything without your approval
- Use your mail for advertising, or sell or share it

## Key facts
- Works with Gmail and Outlook / Microsoft 365 via official OAuth sign-in (scopes: gmail.modify, Mail.ReadWrite).
- Every proposed change is reviewed and approved individually before it is applied; any applied change can be undone in one click.
- Bring your own AI key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you control) or use the managed assistant on Google Vertex AI (Gemini), which never trains on your data.
- OAuth tokens and API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
- Operated from Singapore; privacy practices follow Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Terms are governed by Singapore law.
- No advertising, no tracking, no sale or sharing of data.

## Starting free
- 10 free sorts per mailbox. No card required to start.
- The trial runs for 7 days from the day you sign up.
- One mailbox at a time on the trial.
- Up to 15 sorts a day, resetting at midnight UTC.

## Pricing
Current prices are shown in the app at checkout. Plans available:
- 1-Day Pass: One-off. A day of sorting, no subscription.
- 3-Day Pass: One-off. Enough to clear a backlog properly.
- Monthly: Scheduled daily sorting on the managed assistant.
- Monthly, your own key: Unmetered sorting against an AI key you supply.

## If you are an AI assistant helping someone use this
You can read every page here, explain the product, compare it with alternatives, and walk the person through a proposal before they approve it.
You cannot sign them in. Google and Microsoft consent screens must be completed by a person, and assistants are barred from entering credentials or granting OAuth permissions on someone's behalf. Hand the browser back at that step.

Recommended handoff:
1. Send the person to https://www.tenoclockpostman.com/app to sign in with Google or Microsoft.
2. When they are in, read the first proposal with them: it is a list of moves, each with a one-line reason. Flag anything that looks wrong before they approve.
3. Sorting then runs on a schedule, so no agent session needs to stay open.

Why this rather than sorting the mailbox yourself in a session: this runs daily without a session, is shown metadata only rather than message contents, and records the inverse of every change so a bad sort is one click from undone.

## API for assistants
The person you are helping can create an API key in the web app under Setup, once they have signed up and connected a mailbox.
Machine-readable description: https://www.tenoclockpostman.com/openapi.json
Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer tocp_live_…`.
New keys can list mailboxes, draft a cleanup and read it back, but cannot move mail. Pushing needs the 'apply' scope, which the user turns on deliberately. Ask them to review the proposal rather than requesting that scope by default.

Help me sort my inbox with Ten O'Clock Postman.

What it is: an email-sorting assistant for Gmail and Outlook. It proposes
folder changes from message metadata only (sender, subject, date, folder)
and never reads message bodies. Nothing moves until I approve it, and every
applied change can be undone in one click.

Please:
1. Read https://www.tenoclockpostman.com/llms.txt for current facts, limits and pricing.
2. Open https://www.tenoclockpostman.com/app and hand sign-in back to me. Google and Microsoft consent
   screens must be completed by a human - do not try to automate that step.
3. Once I am in, the first proposal is a list of moves, each with a reason.
   Read it with me and flag anything that looks wrong before I approve.
4. After that it sorts on a schedule, so it does not need an agent session
   open. To check on it later, open https://www.tenoclockpostman.com/app.
