Email (IMAP/SMTP)

Any mailbox by its standard protocols — a company Mailcow or Dovecot, IONOS, Strato, Hetzner, Fastmail, GMX, or Gmail and Microsoft 365 with an app password. Read, search, send, reply, draft, file and flag mail, pull attachments as files or text, and start a workflow when mail arrives. Settings are found for most providers; a self-signed certificate is trusted by its fingerprint.

⚠️
Not yet connectable

Email (IMAP/SMTP) is mapped and documented, but one-click connection isn't live yet — the app shows it as Coming soon. Only Google Calendar, Drive, Mail, and Tasks are connectable today; see the Standard integrations catalogue for what's live now.

How Email (IMAP/SMTP) fits into Your Office AI

Actions

Once connected, Email (IMAP/SMTP) exposes the following actions. The AI can call them with #-mentions in chat, an agent can be granted a subset as tools, and a workflow can run them in an integration-action node.

ActionTypeWhat it doesProxy
Create Draft
create-draft
WriteFile a draft in the Drafts folder without sending it — for a person to review and send from their own mail client.
Get Attachment
get-attachment
ReadDownload one attachment as a file a later step can use.
Get Attachment Text
get-attachment-text
ReadDownload one attachment and convert it to text/markdown — a PDF, spreadsheet or document a model can read.
Get Message
get-message
ReadFetch one message whole: headers, text, HTML and the list of attachments.
List Folders
list-folders
ReadList every folder in the mailbox, with its role (inbox, drafts, sent, trash) where the server declares one.
List Messages
list-messages
ReadList the newest messages in a folder, newest first.
Mark Read
mark-read
WriteMark a message as read, or as unread again.
Move Message
move-message
WriteMove a message to another folder — the way a mailbox files status: 1_PO, 5_Sonstige, Archive.
Reply
reply-message
WriteReply to a message in the same conversation. The reply threads under the original and marks it answered.
Search Messages
search-messages
ReadSearch a folder by sender, recipient, subject, words in the message, date, unread state or a status keyword. Every filter given must match.
Send Message
send-message
WriteSend an email from the connected mailbox. A copy is filed in the Sent folder.
Set Flags
set-flags
WritePut status words on a message or take them off: the standard flags (seen, flagged, answered) and free keywords such as "Erledigt" or "Mensch gebraucht". Keywords show in most mail clients; Outlook on an IMAP account keeps its own categories and does not show them.
Trash Message
trash-message
WriteMove a message to the Trash folder. Nothing is deleted for good until the mailbox empties its trash.
ℹ️
Write actions are confirmation-gated

Actions tagged Write create, update, or delete data. In chat and agent paths they pause for your confirmation before running; workflows treat their deterministic wiring as implicit consent. Agent tools covers how to scope which actions an agent may use.

Spend & quota

Email (IMAP/SMTP) is governed per organization: an admin sets a monetary spend cap and a monthly call quota. A quota of 0 disables the integration — it never means unlimited. See the Integrations overview for the full governance model.
