For the gmail-multi-account application.
Last updated: 28 August 2026
gmail-multi-account is a command-line tool that runs locally on the operator's own computer. It uses the Gmail API to read, search and draft email in Gmail accounts that the operator personally owns and has explicitly authorised. It is not a hosted service, and it is not offered to the public as a service.
When authorised, and only for the specific Google account that granted the authorisation, the application can access that account's Gmail data through the Gmail API: message and thread content, headers, labels and drafts.
Nowhere. All processing happens on the operator's local machine, in memory or in local files under the operator's control. Specifically:
OAuth tokens issued by Google are stored locally on the operator's machine, encrypted at rest, in a per-account directory. They are never transmitted anywhere except to Google's own OAuth and Gmail API endpoints. Each authorised account has its own separate credential store.
The developer retains nothing, because the developer receives nothing. Local credentials persist on the operator's machine until deleted or revoked.
This application's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Access can be withdrawn at any time from Google Account connections. Doing so immediately invalidates the stored credentials.
