Set up and verify Apple Mail search on macOS, including the search index that silently returns nothing when it was never built. Use when the user says 'connect Apple Mail', 'set up mail search', 'Dex can't find my emails', 'mail search returns nothing'. Not for Gmail or Google Workspace; use `google-workspace-setup`.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'apple-mail-setup' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'apple-mail-setup' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named apple-mail-setup already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davekilleen/Dex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd759c3a0e91e617d1bd879dc449d6d61681b90fb' -- '.claude/skills/apple-mail-setup' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/apple-mail-setup' ~/.agents/skills/'apple-mail-setup' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'apple-mail-setup' ~/.claude/skills/'apple-mail-setup' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
