Sinabis Green Energy β Synthetic Email Dataset
More than 10 million emails and 1.4 million calendar files from the
everyday business of a fictional renewable-energy group. They span ten and a
half years, six countries and 29 languages, and they include real
attachments. Every person, company, authority, law and event is made up. The
content was written by large language models, and the mailgen generator
built the structure around it.
All figures in this file were computed from the files themselves (as of 7 Oct 2026). They are not target values from the configuration.
Also available: the smaller Sinabis Oil β Synthetic Email Dataset (1.25 million emails, four languages) from a different fictional company, an oil and gas group.

What it is about
Sinabis Green Energy (headquartered in Austin, Texas, fictional) builds and operates everything that is green: rooftop and utility-scale solar (installation and annual maintenance), wind farms, EV charging parks, autonomous shuttles, battery storage, water treatment and CO2-neutral buildings. A foundation cleans oil from the sea and recycles plastic bottles, a research institute publishes (made-up) studies, and a government affairs office lobbies made-up politicians for made-up US funding programmes.
There are 830 topics in the emails, including:
solar annual maintenance renewal Β· inverter fault work order Β· yield below forecast Β· residential underperformance complaint Β· subcontractor liability dispute Β· scaffolding subcontract redlines Β· module short shipment Β· battery connector recall Β· shuttle brake sensor recall Β· boil-water advisory Β· net-metering application delay Β· fall-protection near miss Β· heat-wave crew warning Β· grant applications and lobbying Β· HR, IT, finance and procurement topics and more.
The COVID-19 pandemic is part of the story from 2020 on (masks, remote work, supply crisis): 586,408 emails (5.8 %) relate to it. 484,073 emails (4.8 %) are private or informal exchanges between colleagues. Single emails are newsletters, memos, circulars, press releases and payment reminders; system notifications come from the service desk, HR portal, accounts payable, procurement, facilities and shipping.

Activity is unevenly distributed, like in a real mailbox: of 7,828 internal sender addresses, the busiest 10 % write 56.5 % of all internal emails. People only appear during their period of employment; around their leaving date there is a farewell email, an HR note or a handover, and after that they never write again.

Models used
The model that wrote each email is recorded in manifest.jsonl
(fields model and worker).
| Model | Emails | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Gemma 4 26B-A4B (NVFP4) | 6,214,888 | 61.6 % |
| Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (AWQ, 4-bit) | 3,045,491 | 30.2 % |
| DeepSeek V4 Flash | 15,113 | 0.1 % |
| Qwen 3.6 / Qwen3.5-9B | 6,589 | 0.1 % |
| no LLM , rule-based (system notifications) | 806,833 | 8.0 % |
Across both runs the models read 4.75 billion and wrote 4.40 billion tokens.
These totals also include the small share spent on the calendar emails that
are not part of this folder. For rule-based emails the model field names
the worker that handled the case, but no language model was involved. The
.ics files are built by rules, without a model.
The PDF, DOCX and XLSX attachments are real files. Invoices, quotes, purchase orders and measurement reports are built without a model, with correct totals and the same numbers as in the email text; contracts, terms and conditions, reports and studies get their text from the model. The PNG attachments are charts, trend plots and screenshots rendered by the generator, plus a small number of photos from an image model.

Downloads
The dataset is split into nine zip archives (about 101 GB zipped, about
187 GB unpacked including the manifests; the .eml files alone are 177.8 GB),
so you can start with a single part and do not need to fetch everything at
once.

The eight email parts hold the emails/sNNNNN/ case folders in ascending
order, each folder with its manifest.jsonl. To get the complete tree, unpack
all archives into the same directory (on Windows and macOS, merge the folders
when asked). Every archive also works on its own.

The sNNNNN folders hold 1,000 business cases each and only split the data so
that no single folder holds millions of files. They carry no meaning. An
.ics file lives in the folder with the same sNNNNN name as its case.
Each emails/sNNNNN folder contains a manifest.jsonl with one line per
file: file, date, sender, recipients, subject, kind (thread, single,
meeting, notification, lifecycle), language, topic, business unit,
site, project, asset, counterparty, attachments, COVID flag and model.
Manifest note: The manifests were not rewritten when the folder was
reorganised. Besides the 10,088,914 lines for the emails here they still
contain 1,236,641 lines for the calendar emails that were moved out, and
183,851 lines for the .ics files of run 2 ("format": "ics", path
emails/sNNNNN/β¦ics, the file is now in ics/sNNNNN/). Only count lines
whose file exists.

How everything is linked
Email threads
<case>-<NN>.eml
β βββ position in the thread (01, 02, β¦)
ββββββββββ 9-digit case number, same for all emails of the case
- All emails of one case share the same file name prefix .
- The headers link the emails:
Message-ID,In-Reply-ToandReferenceseach point to the previous email. - Every email contains the quoted history of all earlier emails, either
in Outlook style or
>style depending on the sender's mail client, so a single file already shows the whole thread. - 1,166,273 first emails (31.8 % of all first emails) also carry an HTML
version (
multipart/alternative). - 99.7 % of threads have 2 to 8 emails , 77.5 % have 3 to 6.
- Gaps: In 16,943 threads of run 1 a position is missing, because that email contained a meeting invitation and was moved out with the other calendar emails (not part of this release).
Attachments
- Attachments are embedded in the email (MIME, Base64), not stored as separate files next to it. 2,075,531 emails (20.6 %) carry at least one.
- The document is the source the email refers to , for example an invoice, a maintenance report or a contract draft, not a copy of the email text. It has the same language and the same date as the email.
- No email in
emails/contains atext/calendarpart or an.icsattachment. - Meeting links (
meet.sinabis-green.com) and team sites (teams.sinabis-green.com) in the text are fictional.
Meetings and calendar files (`ics/`)
ics/sNNNNN/<case>-<NN>.ics
- A meeting consists of several
.icsfiles with the same case number: the invitation (REQUEST) to all attendees, acceptances or declines (REPLY) to the organiser, and possibly an update or cancellation (CANCEL). 322,673 meetings produce 1,269,964 files this way, 3.9 per meeting on average. - The remaining 150,528 files are invitations that came up inside an email case (110,332 from threads, 40,196 from single emails).
- Where the files come from:
| Source | Files | Matching email |
|---|---|---|
Run 1, extracted from the text/calendar part of the calendar emails |
1,236,641 | not part of this release (the calendar emails were moved out) |
Run 2, meeting invitations written directly as .ics |
164,238 | none, there never was an email |
| Run 2, invitations at the end of a thread or single email | 19,613 | emails/sNNNNN/<same name>.eml |
- The files use CRLF line endings,
METHOD,UID,ORGANIZERandATTENDEE, so they can be imported directly into calendar software.
#
How timestamps are created
Timestamps are set by the generator, not by the language model.
- Start time: For each case the generator picks a day between 1 Jan 2016 and 30 Jun 2026 and a time within office hours. The number of cases per year grows with the workforce.
- Thread: Replies always come after the previous email, with plausible gaps between them.
- Time zones: The
Dateheader is in thesender's local time zone , including daylight saving time (e.g.-0500in Houston,+0900in Tokyo,+1200/+1300in Auckland). - People: Every person has an employment or business-relationship window. Someone hired in 2024 does not send emails in 2019.
- Time-bound topics: Topics such as COVID-19 (2020β21) or the supply crisis (2021β22) only appear in their period.
- Attachments carry the date of their email.
Emails per year (local date of the Date header)
| 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 (to July) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 543,229 | 625,167 | 713,299 | 792,423 | 882,984 | 981,067 | 1,067,436 | 1,160,651 | 1,260,646 | 1,344,175 | 717,834 |

Notes
- Fictional, and recognisably so: All names, companies, addresses, phone
numbers, authorities, programmes, laws, politicians and events are made up.
External domains use the reserved TLD
.example, authorities*.gov.example; phone numbers are in the fictional555-01xxrange. Laws and programmes carry recognisably invented names such as "Windbreak Jobs Act (H.R. 48812)". Real cities appear as locations only. - Fake filter: After every generation step a filter replaces real brands,
authorities, laws, politicians, celebrities, universities and media, and
rewrites any real domain to
.example. - Marked as synthetic: All 10,088,914
.emlfiles carry the headerX-Synthetic-Data: fictional. - Watchdog: Every written email was decoded and checked for foreign
scripts (e.g. Chinese characters in English emails), placeholders such as
[Your Name], model artefacts and real names. Failing cases were regenerated. - Edge dates: 3 emails are dated 31 December 2015 (local time) because of time zone shifts at the start of the time span; the latest email is from 12 July 2026.
- Manifest duplicates: 38 manifest lines are repeated entries from cases
that were regenerated; the
.emlfile exists only once.
#
Methodology
The prompt templates, topic catalogue, world definition and fake filter
(prompts.json, topics.json, world.json, guard.json) were used to
prompt the LLMs; they are not part of this release. The company world is
generated deterministically from seed 7.
