Ready to use. + +### Q: How do I get better accuracy than the mock model? +**A:** Train a real model or download pre-trained. See Path B above. + +### Q: Does this work without Gmail? +**A:** YES! Use mock provider or IMAP provider instead. + +### Q: Can I use it right now? +**A:** YES! With mock model. For real accuracy, integrate real model (Path B). + +### Q: How long to process all 80k emails? +**A:** About 20-30 minutes after setup.
