AI-Powered Fastmail Email Drafting Workflow

- AI-Powered Reply Generation: Leverages OpenAI's GPT-4o to craft contextually relevant and personalized draft responses.

How It Works
The workflow initiates by monitoring a specified IMAP inbox for new emails. Upon detection, it extracts key information (sender, subject, email body) from the incoming message. This data is then fed into OpenAI's GPT-4o model, which generates a tailored draft response based on the email's content and specified linguistic nuances. Concurrently, the workflow establishes a secure session with the Fastmail JMAP API to retrieve necessary mailbox identifiers. It filters for the 'Drafts' folder and then compiles all the generated and extracted information to create a new draft email, which is finally uploaded to your Fastmail 'Drafts' folder, ready for review and sending.
