/email:manage - Bulk Email Management

Perform batch operations on multiple emails: flag, unflag, move, archive.

Usage

/email:manage flag 1,2,5          # Flag specific email IDs
/email:manage unflag 3,7          # Remove flags from emails
/email:manage move 1,2,3 Archive  # Move emails to Archive
/email:manage archive 4,5,6       # Shortcut for move to Archive
/email:manage move all-unread Spam  # Move all unread to Spam

When Invoked

1. Parse the action and target list:
   • Actions: flag, unflag, move, archive
   • Targets: comma-separated IDs (e.g., 1,2,5) or all-unread
   • Destination: required for move and archive (defaults to Archive)
2. If targeting more than 5 emails, show confirmation gate:

   ⚠️ This will move 12 emails to Archive. Continue? (yes/no)
   

3. Execute operations in sequence, showing progress:

   [1/7] Flagging email #1...
   [2/7] Flagging email #2...
   ...
   

4. Display summary when complete

Safety Rules

• Require explicit confirmation for operations on more than 5 emails
• Always show what will happen before executing bulk moves
• Never delete emails — only move to Trash (user can recover)
• If all-unread is used, first call list_emails to count and show the scope

MCP Tools Used

• flag_email — for flag/unflag operations (action: add or remove, flags: ["Flagged"])
• move_email — for move/archive operations
• list_emails — to resolve all-unread targets
• search_emails — to resolve filter-based targets
