## Review summary

MailTask is a free, easy-to-use Tasker plugin that allows automated email sending, primarily via Gmail, with helpful developer support and multi-attachment features. However, users report its Gmail-only focus limits versatility, delays in sending emails, lack of support for Google's Advanced Protection Program, occasional attachment errors, and inconsistent detection of unread emails, which hampers full automation reliability.

- Easy to set up and use with Tasker.
- Developer provides helpful and responsive customer support.
- Supports sending multiple attachments and using variables in messages.
- Useful integration with Gmail, enhancing automation tasks.

### Cons

- Limited support beyond Google email accounts, reducing versatility.
- Issues sending emails immediately; delays of several hours reported.
- Does not work with Google's Advanced Protection Program.
- Problems sending attachments, sometimes showing 'file not exist' errors.
- Sometimes fails to detect new unread emails properly, requiring manual setting changes.
