What is FireXCore MailVault?

FireXCore MailVault is a read-only, open-source email evidence archiver for Gmail and standards-compatible IMAP servers. It preserves complete raw EML messages, mailbox occurrences, MIME parts, SHA-256 content identities, and traceable manifests.

Does MailVault modify, move, or delete email?

No. MailVault is designed for read-only acquisition. The archive core does not include commands for deleting, moving, copying, appending, sending, relabeling, or changing message flags.

Does MailVault support Gmail?

Yes. The Gmail IMAP provider profile supports App Password authentication and preserves Gmail-specific message, thread, label, and raw-search metadata when exposed by the server.

Can MailVault archive non-Gmail mailboxes?

Yes. The generic IMAP provider supports standards-compatible servers and hosted domain-email platforms, using negotiated capabilities, UID, UIDVALIDITY, mailbox data, and RFC message headers.

How does MailVault deduplicate attachments?

MailVault stores retained non-body MIME payloads by SHA-256 content hash. Identical bytes share one canonical stored object, while every message occurrence, filename, MIME part, and source relationship remains recorded.

Does MailVault store Gmail App Passwords or mailbox passwords?

No. Credentials are requested through hidden terminal input and are not written to configuration files, SQLite, JSON, manifests, reports, or logs.

Is MailVault a legal-hold or compliance platform?

No. MailVault provides an evidence-preserving technical archive, but it is not a legal-hold, journaling, regulatory certification, or records-governance product. Organizations must apply their own legal, retention, access-control, and security requirements.

Can MailVault support procurement intelligence?

Yes. MailVault generates source records that retain exact links to messages, MIME parts, blob hashes, participants, dates, and provider context. A separate extraction layer can use those records to derive quotations, prices, supplier response metrics, technical substitutions, and other procurement facts with source citations.
