Mailit 11 features and enhancements

Mailit 11 is the reliable and easy-to-use email plug-in for FileMaker® — send, receive, and manage email via SMTP, POP3, IMAP, Gmail REST API, and Microsoft Graph API, with optional sending via AWS SES. Includes OAuth 2.0 workflowsHTML email composing and viewingbackground processing (incl. FileMaker Server), and strong security with PGP / S/MIME.

Email signing and encrypting

Encrypt and sign emails to reduce interception and spoofing. Mailit supports PGP and S/MIME to encrypt emails and attachments using the recipient’s public key—so only recipients with the matching private key can decrypt them. You can also digitally sign messages to prove authenticity and help recipients verify the sender and detect tampering.

Enhanced: IMAP

Mailit provides advanced IMAP features for professional mailbox workflows. Manage folders, upload messages to remote folders, and search messages by criteria such as “from”“since”, and “unread”.


Mailit 11 improves IMAP message downloading and processing (including server-side scripts) and optimizes memory usage for better stability when working with large mailboxes and attachments.

NEW: Microsoft Graph API

MailIt 11 adds REST support for Microsoft 365 mailboxes via the Microsoft Graph API.


Connect using Emai_Connect with the new connection type graphRest and continue using MailIt’s existing workflow.

Supported operations include listing/selecting folders, loading messages, moving/deleting messages, and sending via Graph where supported.

MailIt’s session transcript covers REST requests. The plug-in log file contains additional diagnostic details.

NEW: Gmail REST API

MailIt 11 adds REST support for Gmail via the Gmail API while keeping the familiar MailIt workflow.

Connect using Emai_Connect with the new connection type gmailRest — no separate REST-only function set is required.

Supported operations include listing labels/folders, selecting folders, loading messages, deleting/moving messages, adding/removing labels including INBOX, SENT, TRASH, and SPAM, and uploading messages to Gmail.

Migration note: when switching between IMAP and REST, limit downloads by date/time to avoid re-downloading older messages.
