Get started with Inbox Maid.

Follow these steps after purchase. Allow 15–20 minutes for first preview.

Before you begin

You will need:

• A Windows 10 or 11 PC
• Your license key (from purchase confirmation email)
• An OpenAI API key (platform.openai.com)
• A Gmail account
• Internet connection

Inbox Maid is a one-time purchase ($49.99, 2 devices). OpenAI usage is billed separately by OpenAI.

Step 1 — Download and install

1. Download the installer from inboxmaid.com/download
2. Run InboxMaid-Setup-x.x.x.exe
3. Follow the installer prompts
4. Launch Inbox Maid from the Start menu

Note: Unsigned builds may show Windows SmartScreen warnings until Authenticode signing is complete. See Troubleshooting if blocked.

Step 2 — Activate your license

1. On first launch, read Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
2. Scroll to the end of each document and agree
3. When prompted, paste your license key from your receipt email
4. Click Activate

The app verifies your key online. Brief offline grace applies if validation is temporarily unavailable.

Two devices: Each license supports 2 active PCs. To move to a new computer, deactivate the old device or email support@kingmakeranalytics.com.

Step 3 — Add your OpenAI API key

1. Open Settings → Connected Accounts
2. Enter your OpenAI API key
3. Click Save API Key

Your key is stored in Windows Credential Manager — not in plaintext files.

Step 4 — Connect Gmail

Production builds use built-in Gmail sign-in — you do not create your own Google Cloud project.

1. Open Run Cleanup
2. Confirm readiness chips show OpenAI Ready
3. Click Run Preview
4. Complete Google sign-in in your browser when prompted
5. Approve the requested Gmail permissions

Step 5 — Run your first preview

1. Stay on Run Cleanup
2. Keep Apply changes to inbox OFF
3. Set Emails to process now (start with 25)
4. Click Run Preview
5. Open Review Results to inspect suggestions

Nothing in Gmail changes during preview.

Step 6 — Apply when ready (optional)

1. When preview results look correct, return to Run Cleanup
2. Enable Apply changes to inbox
3. Confirm the destructive-action warning
4. Run again with apply enabled

Trash moves can be undone from Run History & Undo for the most recent applied run.
