Mark one or more emails as read or unread. Pass account_id when operating within a single account, or provide email_accounts mapping for mixed-account batches.

Mark a single email as read (account_id optional but recommended to avoid cross-account lookup).

Mark a single email as unread (account_id optional but recommended).

Mark multiple emails as read

Delete one or more emails (move to trash or permanently delete). Provide account_id or email_accounts mapping so each UID can be routed to the right mailbox.

Delete a single email (move to trash or permanently delete). account_id optional but recommended.

Flag/star or unflag an email. Runs against the live mailbox—account_id recommended to avoid cross-account lookups.

Extract attachments from an email by downloading them over IMAP. Requires a reachable mailbox and may incur network latency.

Analyze contact frequency and communication patterns using the local sync database. Works only after emails have been synchronized to the cache.

Get communication timeline with a specific contact from the local sync cache (no live IMAP).

List folders with unread counts per configured account. Requires live IMAP connectivity; returns empty list when the mailbox cannot be reached.

Fetch only email headers (From, To, Subject, Date, Message-ID, etc.) without downloading the body. account_id recommended so the UID lookup hits the right mailbox.
