Connecting Email Accounts

Connect During Onboarding

When you first sign up, Micro walks you through connecting your Gmail and Google Calendar. You can also connect accounts later in Settings → Connected Accounts.

Authorize Access

Review the provider authorization screen, then grant the permissions required for the email and calendar features you want to use.

Note: If you are using an email alias, you will need to authenticate with the primary address first.

Verify Connection

Once connected, your emails and calendar events begin syncing. You can connect multiple Gmail accounts.

Unified Inbox Experience

When you connect multiple email accounts, Micro creates a unified inbox that combines all your emails in one place.

Note: You can still access individual account inboxes via the Email Views Panel.

System Views

Your inbox comes with built-in system views:

• All Mail — Every email across all connected accounts
• Starred — Emails you've starred
• Sent — Emails you've sent
• Drafts — Unsent drafts

Quick Filters let you toggle common filters without creating a custom view. Click the Quick Filters button to hide Done, Sent, Spam, or Trash emails.

You can also create custom views with any filters you like (see below).

Navigating Your Inbox

Email Views Panel

Click the button next to your view tabs to open the Email Views Panel—a slide-out panel for quick navigation.

The panel includes:

• System Views - All Mail, Sent, Starred, Drafts, Spam, and Trash
• Custom Views - Your filtered views with a "New View" button
• Inbox Switcher - Toggle between All Inboxes or individual accounts
• Search - Filter views by name

Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select, and Escape to close.

Creating Custom Views

Creating custom views in email works the same as it works everywhere else in Micro. You can filter on any property—and create your own properties to filter on as well.

Some examples of views you can create:

• Investor Emails - Filter by investor domains or the "Investor" label
• Customer Emails - Emails from customers needing responses
• Portfolio Updates - Updates from portfolio companies
• Fundraising - Emails related to your current raise
• Intros - Introduction emails that need follow-up

AI Autofill

AI Autofill runs on every email. You can automatically extract information like tasks, labels, categories, and more.

Any property you create can have Autofill applied to it—making it easy to automatically categorize and organize your inbox.

Sending Email

Compose & Reply

Press C to compose a new email, R to reply, or F to forward. Use ⌘ + Enter to send.

Note: Compose, reply, and forward require Gmail send permissions. If you connected your account with read-only access, Micro will prompt you to grant send permission when you try to compose or reply.

Schedule Send

Send emails at the perfect time. When composing, click the dropdown next to the Send button to schedule your email for:

• Tomorrow morning
• Tomorrow afternoon
• Monday morning
• A custom date and time

Scheduled emails show a Scheduled badge in your inbox until they're sent.

Search & AI

Search

You can search through emails in Command K (⌘K) and through the Emails tab, or you can ask the AI.

AI Chat

Micro AI can help you work through your inbox in powerful ways:

Quick searches - Find specific bits of information like flight numbers, confirmation codes, or things people said in emails from any time period.

Complex agentic searches - Run longer tasks like identifying every company you've purchased something from this year, or finding all emails where someone mentioned a specific topic.

Take action - The AI agent can mark emails as done, change property values, draft emails, send emails, and delete drafts.

Note: AI Chat is currently not able to do aggregation tasks like "How many emails in the last two years involved XYZ?"

Email Sidebar

In the sidebar on every email thread, you can see:

• Thread Summary - Click to summarize the entire thread
• Info - Basic properties tied to the email thread
• In This Thread - Profile cards for everyone in the thread
• Tasks - Tasks you've created or generated that are tied to the thread

Email and calendar activity updates properties on contacts like Relationship Strength.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Micro supports Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts to help you fly through your inbox.

Privacy & Security

Your email data is private by default. Team members can see high-level metadata (like that an email was exchanged), but email content remains private. You can change this in Settings.

All email data is encrypted and securely stored.
