# porteden email Use `porteden email` (alias: `porteden mail`) for email management across multiple accounts. **Use `-jc` flags** for AI-optimized output. If `porteden` is not installed: `brew install porteden/tap/porteden` (or `go install github.com/porteden/cli/cmd/porteden@latest`). Setup (once) - **Browser login (recommended):** `porteden auth login` — opens browser, credentials stored in system keyring - **Direct token:** `porteden auth login --token <key>` — stored in system keyring - **Verify:** `porteden auth status` - If `PE_API_KEY` is set in the environment, the CLI uses it automatically (no login needed). Common commands - List emails (or --today, --yesterday, --week, --days N): `porteden email messages -jc` - Filter emails: `porteden email messages --from sender@example.com -jc` (also: --to, --subject, --label, --unread, --has-attachment) - Search emails: `porteden email messages -q "keyword" --today -jc` - Custom date range: `porteden email messages --after 2026-02-01 --before 2026-02-07 -jc` - All emails (auto-pagination): `porteden email messages --week --all -jc` - Get single email: `porteden email message <emailId> -jc` - Get thread: `porteden email thread <threadId> -jc` - Send email: `porteden email send --to user@example.com --subject "Hi" --body "Hello"` (also: --cc, --bcc, --body-file, --body-type text, --importance high) - Send with named recipient: `porteden email send --to "John Doe <john@example.com>" --subject "Hi" --body "Hello"` - Reply: `porteden email reply <emailId> --body "Thanks"` (add `--reply-all` for reply all) - Forward: `porteden email forward <emailId> --to colleague@example.com` (optional `--body "FYI"`, --cc) - Modify email: `porteden email modify <emailId> --mark-read` (also: --mark-unread, --add-labels IMPORTANT, --remove-labels INBOX) - Delete email: `porteden email delete <emailId>` Notes - Credentials persist in the system keyring after login. No repeated auth needed. - Set `PE_PROFILE=work` to avoid repeating `--profile`. - `-jc` is shorthand for `--json --compact`: strips attachment details, truncates body previews, limits labels, reduces tokens. - Use `--all` to auto-fetch all pages; check `hasMore` and `nextPageToken` in JSON output. - Email IDs are provider-prefixed (e.g., `google:abc123`, `m365:xyz789`). Pass them as-is. - `--include-body` on `messages` fetches full body (default: preview only). Single `message` includes body by default. - `--body` and `--body-file` are mutually exclusive. Use `--body-type text` for plain text (default: html). - Confirm before sending, replying, forwarding, or deleting emails. - Environment variables: `PE_API_KEY`, `PE_PROFILE`, `PE_TIMEZONE`, `PE_FORMAT`, `PE_COLOR`, `PE_VERBOSE`.
