Available Tools

`create-draft`

Creates a draft email message and saves it to the IMAP server's drafts folder.

Parameters:

to (string, required): The recipient's email address
subject (string, required): The email subject line
body (string, required): The email body content
from (string, optional): The sender's email address (defaults to IMAP_USERNAME)

Example:

{
  "to": "recipient@example.com",
  "subject": "Meeting Reminder",
  "body": "Don't forget about our meeting tomorrow at 2 PM.",
  "from": "sender@example.com"
}

The tool will attempt to save the draft to either "INBOX.Drafts" or "Drafts" folder, depending on your email server's folder structure.
