Recipe: Multi-Account Review

For users with multiple email accounts, review each account's inbox status and present a unified summary with per-account breakdown.

Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.

Access level required: read-only.

Steps

Step 1: Discover all accounts

spark accounts

Note each account email, its access level, and associated calendars and teams.

Step 2: Check folders per account

For each account, see the folder structure and message counts:

spark folders [e-mail]
spark folders [e-mail]
spark folders [e-mail]

Step 3: Review unread mail per account

For each account, check unread across key categories:

spark emails [e-mail] --filter "is:unread"
spark emails [e-mail] --filter "is:unread"
spark emails [e-mail] --filter "is:unread"

For a category-level breakdown on the most active account:

spark emails [e-mail] --filter "category:priority is:unread"
spark emails [e-mail] --filter "category:personal is:unread"

Step 4: Cross-account priority check

Check priority mail across all accounts at once:

spark emails Inbox --filter "category:priority is:unread"

This uses the unified inbox to surface priority items regardless of which account received them.

Step 5: Present the summary

Report per account:

• [e-mail]: N unread (X priority, Y people)
• [e-mail]: M unread
• [e-mail]: K unread

Highlight cross-account priorities and any account that needs immediate attention.

Tips

• Start with spark accounts to discover all configured accounts and their access levels.
• The unified inbox (spark emails Inbox) aggregates across all accounts - use it for cross-account priority checks.
• Per-account browsing (spark emails [e-mail]) keeps things separated when the user wants to focus on one context.
• Use spark folders <account> to understand each account's folder structure before browsing specific folders.
• Some accounts may be read-only while others have triage access. accounts shows the access level for each.
• For users with work + personal accounts, suggest processing them separately to maintain mental context.
• Combine with recipe-inbox-by-category for a deep dive into the most active account.
