Every morning at 7:00 AM:
1. Call get_all_unread_summary to fetch all unread emails across all accounts.
2. Categorize each email as:
   - 🔴 URGENT: Needs immediate reply (customers, partners, investors)
   - 🟡 REPLY NEEDED: Needs a reply, but not time-critical
   - 🟢 FYI: Just read, no action needed
   - ⚪ UNIMPORTANT: Newsletters, marketing, spam
3. Draft a reply for each 🔴 and 🟡 email using save_draft.
4. Mark ⚪ emails as read with mark_as_read.
5. Create a clear summary as a briefing.

Every Friday at 5:00 PM:
1. Search all accounts for newsletter and marketing emails from the past week.
2. Create a list for batch deletion.
3. Show me the list for confirmation before deleting.
