Can Claude read my entire inbox at once?

To prevent context window issues, the skill limits the number of messages fetched and truncates long email bodies, ensuring Claude only processes relevant information.

Does this work for current students and alumni?

Yes, it is designed to work with both student and alumni addresses that use the University of Toronto's Office 365 platform.

Is it safe to use my UofT credentials with this skill?

Yes. The skill uses the official Microsoft Device Code flow. You never enter your password into the skill; you authenticate directly with Microsoft, and only an OAuth2 refresh token is stored in your encrypted macOS Keychain.

Why does this skill use the Thunderbird Client ID?

University of Toronto Entra ID (Azure AD) tenants often block custom third-party applications. Thunderbird's ID is pre-authorized by Microsoft, allowing IMAP/SMTP access without requiring explicit administrator consent.
