## Features
- **Works on desktop and mobile** — access your ingestion address from any device

- **Safe file handling** — new notes never overwrite existing files in your vault
- **Configurable attachment storage** — choose where attachments are saved within your vault
- **Strong privacy** — emails are automatically deleted after 72 hours and are never sold, shared, or used for AI training; no vault telemetry

## How it works

3) Fetch it into Obsidian via the plugin, exactly where you want it, automatically

## Who it’s for

- Knowledge workers and students emailing themselves research, ideas, or documents
- Obsidian power users who want fast capture without disrupting their workflow

## Installation

### via Community Plug-ins
- https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/send-email-into-vault


## Setup
2) Open Settings → Email2Obsidian and configure:
   - **API Key** (required; sent as `x-api-key`; use “Test connection” to verify)
   - **Notes folder** (optional; leave blank or `.` to write into the vault root; otherwise auto-created with default `E2Oinbox`)
   - **Attachment folder** (optional; if set, all attachments/inline references will point here)
   - **Periodic sync** + **Interval** (1h/3h/6h/12h/daily); runs immediately when enabled
   - **Run on open** (optional one-time sync on app launch; interval countdown restarts on open)
3) Use the command palette:
   - **Fetch New Email2Obsidian Notes** - fetches unseen emails and appends to the sync log
   - **Fetch All Email2Obsidian Notes** - ignores the log and refetches all emails on server
