Jmail maintainer and co-creator here. Very excited to see that someone finally made Jemini good!

Our development process has been interesting. Although just Riley and I first made Jmail, it's been really gratifying to see companies, journalists, and fellow developers like Diego rise to the occasion to make this entire suite of apps as high quality and extensive as possible.

Great, I've been looking to be able to contact you somewhere, hardly a better place :) Thanks for sharing the project btw, and for keeping jmail alive, been useful to dig into some stuff.

However, there seems to be some "injected" or "fake" emails, that I cannot figure out why they're there in the first place. For example this one: https://jmail.world/thread/55b91b46ef1e4487bee131a8505e14a4?...

For that example, the first problem is that there is no link to the source file from the disclosed files, which is strange, because most other emails have that. Secondly, this almost seems to be a "sponsored" email or something, as it has an ad in the top right corner reading "Sponsored by Drop Site News", but clicking that just takes you to some general page, with no clear information how that's related to the fake/injected email. Also, what does "Verified by X" actually mean, did they verify the authenticity of that specific email?

There seems to be a bunch of people confused by those emails and wondering where they are coming from, because it's missing the source link like the others, so there doesn't seem to be a good way to verify those emails. Could you maybe share a bit about what's going on?

Yeah, those are mailing lists that people signed him up for after he died, including with a joke name.

He was a very famous figure in August 2019, and normal people spammed his inbox with emails like the below

These are all real emails! We can do a better job making this clear to the user.

That’s just a campaign email with “Pedophiles” as the recipient name, right? Anyone can sign an email address up to a mailing list. All of Trump’s campaign emails are these type of overly friendly weird junk.

You guys are doing awesome stuff. I was in the process of loading all of the documents into a vector database to query and then you dropped Jemini.

I wanted to reach out and avoid duplication of efforts, but I didn't know the best person to reach out to for this or if this is anything that can be collaborated on.

I'm curious what your operational costs are and how we can help. I don't see a donation link anywhere.

Recently he said he had a $50k hosting bill but that the CEO of Vercel offered to cover them and help them start some optimization.

Monumental and amazing work. Thank you!

Is it possible to make jmail open source? Would love to contribute! e.g., the search functionality is quite poor with little filtering available. Jtube doesn't let you sort by views etc etc

Hey Luke, hijacking this:

Are you planning to add date-sorted messages and deduplication/thread view at any point?

I would love to help out, if needed.

I just wanted to say that you're doing really important work.
