Amid growing chatter about recently released documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a new Jmail tool has racked up more than 450 million page views. It’s a web tool designed to mimic Google’s Gmail, allowing the public to access millions of Epstein-related documents just as they would their own email account.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) released the Epstein files on January 30, opening a floodgate of material for people trying to understand the pages, which contain the names of some very high-profile figures, travel diaries, flight details and pictures.
Jmail is the brainchild of Internet artist Riley Walz and web developer Luke Igel. It was revealed in November 2025 after the Department of Justice released the first tranche of documents related to Epstein. Unveiling the tool on X, Walz wrote: “We’ve cloned Gmail, except you’re logged in as Epstein and you can see his emails.”
According to a report in Wired, Jmail offers a much more accessible way to browse the vast collection of emails released from Epstein’s estate, saving users the task of wading through tens of thousands of PDF files hosted on Google Drive. One of its standout features adapts Gmail’s well-known “star” feature, allowing users to mark emails they consider important. These messages are then sorted by how many users tag them. While the inbox is organized by date by default, community ratings help highlight emails that users collectively find most noteworthy.
How is Jmail different from Gmail?
Jmail reflects the familiar look and feel of Gmail with a few notable differences. The logo features a small hat, while the profile picture in the upper right corner shows a smiling Epstein with the greeting “Hi Jeffrey!” when clicked. The interface allows users to browse through thousands of emails displayed in the same format as a standard inbox message. The sidebar offers options like Inbox, Starred, and Sent, similar to the Gmail layout. Instead of email labels and categories, however, the Jmail sidebar lists individuals who have exchanged messages with Epstein.
The web tool also has an icon for JPhotos, consisting of images released by the Department of Justice. The sidebar also features prominent names and allows users to directly search for their photos. Other features include JDrive, JFlight and “More”. JDrive allows users to access millions of documents, while the JFlights option is a flight tracking software that consists of Epstein’s flight history. In the “more” section, there are other tabs such as “Jotify”, similar to the music platform Spotify. Unlike the popular music streaming app, it contains hours of DOJ-issued audio recordings.
No new evidence: the creators of Jmail clarify
The creators of Gmail have made it clear that the platform does not provide any new evidence and should not be confused with a government database. At its core, Jmail is a repackaging of material already available in the public domain.
