See what needs you in your inbox

What you get: the five emails that need you today, instead of the fifty that arrived.

1. Pull in new mail

Quox polls on its own, but you can ask for a sync now. It fetches new messages and triages them:

quox mail sync <account-id>

2. See the zones

From a real run on our own install. Subjects changed.

• focus: needs you.
• fyi: worth knowing, nothing to do.
• auto: handled without you.
• screened: held back, likely noise.

The Flags column says why: needs_action, has_deadline, review.

3. Ask for the report

The triage report sums up an account. If none exists yet, the CLI says so and tells you how to make one:

the triage report Copy

$ quox mail report inbacc_mv1iwgdb_2kwmgtyjNo report available yet. Use --generate to create one.$ quox mail report inbacc_mv1iwgdb_2kwmgtyj --generate

From a real run on our own install.

What just happened

Triage ran on your Quox, against mail it fetched itself. The zones and flags are stored there too, so the dashboard and this terminal see the same sorted inbox.

Check it yourself

quox mail list --zone focus shows only what needs you, and --account <id> narrows it to one mailbox.

Undo

Nothing to undo: listing and reading reports only read.
