Four ways to use your inbox with AI
Find one message
Give the AI a person, company, topic, phrase, or date.
Find the latest email from Maya about the contract.
SupaMail searches the messages that it has synced.
Read the thread
Finding one message is often not enough.
Read the email thread about the contract renewal.
The AI can use the thread to follow the conversation.
Long threads may return in parts.
Recover the context
Ask a question about the messages.
Based only on this thread, list the decisions, deadlines, and open questions.
This helps you return to work without reading every message again.
Check important details against the original email.
Prepare a reply
Prepare a reply that confirms the deadline and asks who owns the next step.
SupaMail prepares reply text.
It does not send the email.
You review and send the reply from your email app.
How to get a better result
Use a specific request.
Include:
- The person or company.
- The topic.
- A date or time range, if known.
- The result you want.
Use this pattern:
Find [message or thread] from [person or company] about [topic]. Then [read, list, explain, or prepare].
For example:
Find the latest thread with Northstar about the launch date. List the agreed date, the owner, and any unresolved question.
Do not ask the AI to search the entire inbox when one clear clue will work.
How SupaMail connects email to AI
SupaMail connects to a compatible mailbox through IMAP.
It syncs messages and makes five email tools available through remote MCP.
The tools let a compatible AI client:
- List folders.
- Search messages.
- Read one message.
- Read an email thread.
- Prepare reply text.
MCP is the standard that lets an AI client use external tools and data.
You keep using the AI interface you already know.
