Running the agent
Invoke the agent on unread mail and review its work before it acts.
The Aiemaily agent processes your inbox automatically whenever new mail arrives, and can also be triggered on demand. It works through unread threads, produces drafts and proposed actions, and — in Copilot mode — surfaces each result for your approval before anything is sent.
When the agent runs
An agent run starts automatically each time Aiemaily syncs new mail. You can also trigger a run manually from the inbox toolbar or from any individual thread. A run processes all unread threads that match your active behaviour rules, in priority order.
The agent runs at each mail sync interval (configured in Settings → Sync). It picks up every unread thread that arrived since the last run and processes them in order of triage priority.
Automatic runs happen silently in the background. You are notified only when staged items are ready for your review or when the agent encounters an escalation trigger.
What the agent produces
For each thread it processes, the agent outputs three things: a triage score (priority + intent), a one-line summary, and — where a reply or action is warranted — a staged draft or proposed action.
In Copilot mode, every result is surfaced in the staged-items panel. The panel shows the draft text, the agent’s reasoning for why it wrote what it wrote, and a numerical confidence score between 0 and 1.

Stopping and cancelling
You can stop an in-flight agent run at any time by clicking the stop button in the run-status bar. Threads that have already been processed keep their staged drafts; threads not yet reached are skipped and will be picked up on the next run.
For Autopilot sends that are queued but inside their delay window, a ‘Cancel send’ button appears on the staged item. Cancelling marks the action as ‘undone’ in the audit log — the message is never sent and the thread returns to your inbox as unactioned.

Reviewing and acting on staged items
Staged items accumulate in the “Review” panel, accessible from the left nav. Each item shows the full draft, the agent’s reasoning, the confidence score, and three primary actions: Send, Edit (opens the draft in the composer), or Dismiss.
Dismissed items are marked as handled and removed from the staged queue. The agent will not re-draft the same thread unless new mail arrives on it.
- Send — dispatches the draft immediately; logged in the audit trail with actor ‘agent (approved by you)’
- Edit — opens the draft in the full composer; you can revise freely before sending
- Dismiss — marks the thread as reviewed without sending; the agent’s draft is discarded
