Inside Jmail: The Gmail-Like Website Reshaping Access to Jeffrey Epstein Case Documents

The latest US Justice Department dump of Jeffrey Epstein case material is massive and complex. Millions of pages, images, and videos, plus famous names like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk, sit inside the new “Epstein files”. A web project called Jmail now turns that technical archive into something people can scroll through like a normal inbox.

Instead of forcing users to open clunky scans one by one, Jmail reshapes the files into an email-style interface. Messages appear as familiar-looking threads, with subject lines, timestamps, and sender details. Ordinary users, researchers, and journalists can move through Epstein’s correspondence far faster than through folders of PDFs.

Riley Walz and Luke Igel created Jmail, a web project that presents the US Justice Department's Epstein case materials, including millions of pages of documents, images, and videos, in an accessible email-style interface and related tools such as JPhotos, JDrive, and JFlights.

Jmail Epstein files interface mimics Gmail for Jeffrey Epstein emails

Jmail copies the look of Gmail, though a few details mark its dark subject. A small hat rests on the “M” in the logo, and Jeffrey Epstein’s smiling face sits in the top-right profile circle. In the sidebar, labels like Inbox, Starred, and Sent keep the layout close to everyday email platforms.

The lower part of that sidebar lists people who exchanged emails with Epstein, which helps users spot recurring names. Opening any message shows it exactly as a regular email, not as a grainy scan. This structure lets people skim threads, search by sender, and jump between conversations about travel, money, or personal contacts.

Beyond the inbox, Jmail links out to several related tools built around the Epstein files. Icons labelled “JPhostos,” “JDrive,” and “JFlight” sit on the main screen, mocking common Google services. Each opens a different part of the Justice Department material, reshaped for easy navigation by anyone with a browser.

JPhotos leads to a gallery of pictures released in the case, organised as a searchable image database. JDrive opens millions of pages of documents from the estate, arranged like cloud storage folders. JFlights functions as a flight tracker focused on Epstein’s trips, using the released records to map routes and timings.

Jmail Epstein files project origins and creators Riley Walz and Luke Igel

Internet artist Riley Walz and web developer Luke Igel created Jmail together. Walz presented the site in late November 2025 after the first Justice Department release. In a post on X, Walz wrote, "We cloned Gmail, except you're logged in as Epstein and can see his emails." That post introduced the tool to a wider online audience.

Igel earlier told Wired that the idea originally came from Igel, who then approached Walz. Using Cursor, the pair assembled the working site during a single night of coding. "The emails were just so hard to read," Igel said. For both creators, the goal was not new revelations, but a clearer view of material already public.

They argued that the original scans were blocking public understanding of the Epstein files. "It felt like so much of the shock would've come if you saw actual screenshots of the actual inbox, but what you were seeing was these really low-quality, poorly scanned PDFs. You have to do a few steps of imagination to remind yourself that this is indeed a real email," Igel added. By rebuilding the archive around a familiar email layout and related tools, Jmail shifts the focus back to the content of Epstein’s communications rather than the format.
