Query
DB="$HOME/Library/Mail/V10/MailData/Envelope Index"
TERM="<extracted search term>" # URL-encode % as %% in shell
sqlite3 "$DB" "
SELECT datetime(m.date_received,'unixepoch','localtime') as dt,
s.subject, a.address as sender, a.comment as name,
mb.url as mailbox, m.ROWID, m.read,
CASE WHEN m.size > 0 THEN m.size ELSE 0 END as size
FROM messages m
JOIN subjects s ON m.subject = s.ROWID
JOIN addresses a ON m.sender = a.ROWID
JOIN mailboxes mb ON m.mailbox = mb.ROWID
WHERE m.deleted = 0
AND mb.url NOT LIKE '%Spam%'
AND mb.url NOT LIKE '%Trash%'
AND mb.url NOT LIKE '%Junk%'
AND (
s.subject LIKE '%TERM%'
OR a.address LIKE '%TERM%'
OR a.comment LIKE '%TERM%'
)
ORDER BY m.date_received DESC
LIMIT 50;" 2>/dev/null
For sender-only search:
WHERE a.address LIKE '%TERM%' OR a.comment LIKE '%TERM%'
For subject-only search:
WHERE s.subject LIKE '%TERM%'
For recipient search (TO/CC):
JOIN recipients r ON r.message = m.ROWID
JOIN addresses ra ON r.address = ra.ROWID
WHERE ra.address LIKE '%TERM%'
Reading Email Bodies
If user wants to read specific results, find the emlx and parse:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/_mail-shared/parser.py <ROWID>
Output Format
Show results as a table:
| Date | From | Subject | Account | Read |
|---|
If more than 20 results, summarize by sender/thread and ask if they want to narrow down. For each result, note the account it belongs to (extract UUID from mailbox URL to identify account). Offer to read any specific email if user asks.
