MailStream: 100% Client-Side Gmail Automation Tool - No OAuth Verification Required

TL;DR: MailStream is a pure client-side Gmail automation tool that runs entirely in your browser. Send batch emails from CSV files with intelligent rate limiting, download thousands of emails with attachments. No server infrastructure needed, no complex OAuth verification process - just the basic Google Cloud setup. Your data never leaves your browser.

The Problem with Traditional Gmail Automation

Traditional Gmail automation tools run on servers, which creates complexity:

• OAuth verification requirements: Server-based apps need extensive Google verification
• Privacy concerns: Your emails pass through third-party servers
• Infrastructure costs: Servers, databases, maintenance
• Security audits: Regular assessments and compliance checks
• Trust issues: You must trust the provider with your data

For businesses that value privacy and simplicity, these server-based solutions are unnecessarily complex.

Enter MailStream: Pure Client-Side Architecture

MailStream takes a radically different approach. By running 100% in your browser using client-side JavaScript, it eliminates server complexity entirely. No server means no complex OAuth verification process - just the basic Google Cloud project setup that takes 5 minutes.

• Sends batch emails from CSV files with smart rate limiting
