MailSloth — screen walkthrough

Walk through the screens (plain English)

When you see an empty frame, read it as “photo later.” The words beside each step already explain what that screen is for.

First boot

Intro plus server handshake. If your mail engine is reachable, the desk lights up; if not, you get a straight answer about what to fix on your network.

Desk home

The main surface looks like a real writing desk: paper stacks for drafts, stamps for actions, and calm colors so email feels less like a fire drill.

Pigeonholes and templates

Pigeonholes are labeled slots for recurring mail jobs. Templates sit inside so you are not retyping the same polite paragraph every Monday.

Sequence overview

When mail needs to go out in an order — reminders, approvals, follow-ups — you see the sequence as a scroll you can skim like a checklist.

Step editor

Tap a step to change wording, timing, or who gets copied. Nothing sends until you are happy; the app is a clerk taking notes, not a spam cannon.

Outbox drawer

Think of the outbox as a drawer you pull open: queued sends sit here until you release them or until your server accepts the batch.

Analytics on parchment

Lightweight stats — opens, bounces, queue depth — rendered like marginalia so you can spot trouble without learning a BI tool.

Settings and deployment

Where the boring grown-up stuff lives: server URL, credentials posture, reset tools aligned with the family safety kit.

Type is sized for comfortable reading on a phone, same as the rest of this family pitch.
