Jmail, a Gmail-style web tool created by Riley Walz and Luke Igel, lets users easily browse millions of DOJ-released Jeffrey Epstein documents. Mimicking an email inbox, it organises emails, images, flight logs and audio, making public records more accessible without adding new evidence.

The interface allows users to scroll through thousands of emails, displayed in the same format as a standard inbox message. A sidebar offers options such as Inbox, Starred, and Sent, similar to Gmail’s layout. However, instead of email labels and categories, Jmail’s s
