The interactive inbox view

In apps that can show it, such as Claude and ChatGPT, your AI can open your mail as an interactive list. It has a tab per inbox, filters such as Needs you and Today, and buttons to archive, trash, or reply.

Open it

Ask your AI to show your inbox: "show me my email" or "what needs me today?". Apps that cannot show views, like Claude Code, get the same rows as a numbered list.

Tabs

The top row has All inboxes and a tab for each connected inbox. Paused inboxes are not shown. The header also shows how many messages are unread and how many are from VIPs. Choose Show all to open the view full screen.

Filters

Filter	What it shows
Needs you	Unread or VIP mail in your inbox, with newsletters left out. VIPs come first.
VIP	Mail from your VIP people and domains.
Today	Mail that arrived today in your time zone.
Newsletters	Mail from senders that offer an unsubscribe option.
All	Everything in the synced inbox folders.
Since last check	Shown when your AI opens it: mail since you last finished a triage, or the last two days if you never have.

Each filter shows a count. Sent mail and drafts are not listed.

How "Today" knows your time zone

Your AI app can send your time zone. If it does not, we use the one your browser reported the last time you visited our website. If neither is known, "Today" means the last 24 hours.

Acting on mail

Select a row to open it, then choose Archive, Trash, Spam, or Draft a reply.
Tick the boxes on several rows and use the bar that appears: Archive, Trash, Spam, or Label… for Gmail.
Every change shows Undo. See Archive, trash, spam, and undo.

The list shows 25 rows at a time. Use Next, Previous, and Refresh at the bottom.

Sending and unsubscribing never happen from a click in this view. Those go back to your chat, where you approve them.
