description: Use when migrating a Lawvable Outlook email-processing skill into the mini-claude-for-legal format. This adapter maps the legacy Lawvable email-ingestion configuration — Microsoft Graph API authentication, email threading, legal-matter tagging, privilege flagging, and action-item extraction — into the standard skill model. Triggers on import of any Lawvable-native Outlook integration workflow.

Import: Outlook Emails (Lawvable)

What it does

This import adapter migrates a Lawvable Outlook email-processing skill into the mini-claude-for-legal standard format. Lawvable is a legal AI platform; its Outlook integration allows emails to be ingested, analysed, and routed into legal workflows. This adapter maps the Lawvable data model to the mini-claude-for-legal connector/import format so the email-processing logic continues to work in the new environment.

Legal email processing has specific requirements beyond standard email handling: privilege detection, matter tagging, deadline identification (limitation periods, response deadlines, regulatory notification windows), and client-communication classification (privileged, third-party, administrative).

Email processing pipeline (post-import)

1. Authentication: Microsoft Graph API OAuth2; application-level permissions for shared mailbox access; ensure Mail.Read and Mail.ReadBasic scopes; do not request Mail.Send unless required.
2. Ingestion: fetch emails with metadata (sender, recipients, date, subject, attachments); preserve threading via conversationId.
3. Privilege classification:
   • Attorney-client privilege: sender or recipient is [name]@[lawfirm]; subject line contains "privileged", "legal advice", "confidential"
   • Work product: created in anticipation of litigation
   • Mark non-privileged external communications separately
4. Matter tagging: match subject/sender against matter reference database; tag with matter ID.
5. Language detection: detect Arabic, French, English, other; route accordingly.
6. Action extraction: identify:
   • Requests for action (reply needed, document needed, decision needed)
   • Deadlines stated in email body
   • Regulatory notification windows (e.g. "please respond by [date]")
7. Output: structured email brief per thread.

Legal-specific processing rules

• Privileged emails must never be sent to third-party AI services without explicit client consent and appropriate DPA/NDA coverage.
• Arabic emails: UAE government correspondence and local counsel emails are frequently in Arabic; ensure Arabic-language parsing is enabled.
• Bilingual threads: MENA legal correspondence often mixes Arabic and English in the same thread; handle language switches gracefully.
• Regulatory correspondence: emails from DFSA, CBUAE, UAE Ministry of Justice, Lebanese Ministry of Justice, ACPR (France) should be flagged with HIGH priority and deadline detection applied rigorously.
• Limitation period triggers: a demand letter or notice of claim starts the limitation clock; always flag and record the date received.

Failure modes

Error	Likely cause	Resolution
auth_failure	OAuth2 token expired or scope insufficient	Refresh token; verify Mail.Read scope is granted
thread_truncated	Legacy set thread_depth: 1	Override to full for legal context
privilege_false_positive	Law firm email domain not configured	Configure firm domains in privilege-detection config
arabic_garbled	Encoding issue in Arabic emails	Force encoding: utf-8; re-ingest
deadline_missed	Email contained informal deadline not detected	Expand deadline-detection keywords to include informal language
