Install with the installer
Download the installer for your system from the changelog or the latest release and run it:
| System | File |
|---|---|
| Windows | rubit-mcp-mail-setup-windows.exe |
| Linux | rubit-mcp-mail-setup-linux — chmod +x it first |
Nothing needs to be installed beforehand: Python and every dependency are inside that one file. A window asks for your provider and email address, signs you in, and registers the mail server with Claude Desktop and Claude Code if it finds them — restart Claude Desktop afterwards and your mail is there.
On Linux
chmod +x rubit-mcp-mail-setup-linux
./rubit-mcp-mail-setup-linux
Afterwards
It also leaves you a rubit-mcp-mail Settings shortcut — Start Menu and Desktop on Windows, the application menu on Linux — which opens the settings window for anything you want to change later. No terminal, at any point.
Run the installer again whenever you want to add a second mailbox or repair a sign-in; it updates what is already configured rather than replacing it. On a machine with no desktop (over SSH, say) the same file walks you through it in the terminal.
A note on antivirus warnings
.exe. This is a known false positive
common to unsigned PyInstaller-built applications — an antivirus heuristic
reacting to the pattern of a bundled Python runtime, not anything this
project's code actually does.Proper code-signing is the durable fix and is tracked as a follow-up, not done yet. In the meantime: report it to your antivirus vendor as a false positive (Avast has a submission form for this), or build from source and compare against what's published here. Every published installer's SHA-256 is listed on the changelog so you can verify what you downloaded.
