Profiles

A profile is a second InboxMinder, completely separate: its own mailbox, settings, keys, index, voice and background agent. Use one when you mind support@ and hi@ from the same Mac, or a work and a personal account. One license covers every profile on a Mac.

Create one

From the terminal, with any name except default:

inboxminder --profile support init
inboxminder --profile support up
inboxminder --profile support license activate <key>

init asks the same questions as the first setup. up authorizes Gmail for that mailbox (your browser opens; sign in with the second account), builds its index and installs its own agent. Every command takes --profile <name> before the command name; INBOXMINDER_PROFILE=<name> does the same for scripts.

inboxminder profiles

lists the default profile and every other one with its agent state.

What is separate

Keychain serviceinboxminderinboxminder.support
launchd agentcom.inboxminder.agentcom.inboxminder.agent.support

Two secrets are shared on purpose: the Google OAuth client (an app credential, not an identity) and the AI provider keys fall back to the base service when the profile has none of its own, so you create the Google app once and pay one provider. Gmail tokens, the license entry and connector or MCP tokens never fall back; a fallback there would bind a profile to the wrong mailbox.

For a Workspace "Internal" Google app both mailboxes must be on the same domain; otherwise make the app External and add both addresses as test users.

In the app

The menu bar shows one section per profile, each with its own status, activity and queues. Preferences and Sources open for the profile you chose; the window title and the footer of each name it.

Remove one

inboxminder --profile support agent uninstall

then delete ~/.inboxminder/profiles/support, ~/.config/inboxminder/profiles/support and the inboxminder.support Keychain items, and revoke the Google permission for that account.
