Requires a free Cloudflare account and a few CLI deployment commands.

You can use, modify, and share this freely, but any project that builds on it must also be released under the same GPL-3.0 license.

So what is it?

This is a lightweight web application for managing multiple Outlook email accounts, built to run on Cloudflare's free serverless platform. You deploy it once to your own Cloudflare account and then access it from a browser as a personal email dashboard. No paid server is required, and the project is designed to stay within Cloudflare's free usage limits for typical personal use. The README is primarily in Chinese. The application connects to Outlook, Hotmail, and Live email accounts through Microsoft's official API. When you add an account, a Microsoft login window appears in the browser, you grant permission, and the app stores the credentials automatically. It periodically refreshes your login token so you stay connected as long as you use it regularly. From the dashboard you can read emails from your inbox, spam folder, and deleted items, search messages, and view emails with full HTML formatting. A key feature is batch account management: you can import a list of accounts at once, export them, organize them into color-coded groups, and filter by group or status. There is also an integration with a temporary email service so you can generate a disposable email address directly from the interface. Under the hood the project is written in TypeScript and uses the Hono web framework for routing, Cloudflare D1 (a hosted SQLite database) for storing account credentials and settings, and the Microsoft Graph API for fetching emails. The front end is plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no framework. Deployment takes a few commands using Cloudflare's command-line tool. The roadmap lists planned additions including deleting emails, downloading attachments, a tagging system, an external API for automated retrieval of verification codes, and Telegram notifications for new mail. The project is released under the GPL-3.0 license.
