How to Read Email Threads

Read the content of individual emails or view entire conversation threads grouped together.

Read a Specific Email

Once you have an email ID (from a search or listing), read its full content:

“Read that email from Sarah”

tool: read-email
params:
  id: "AAMkAGR..."

The response includes the subject, sender, recipients, date, and body content.

Control How Much Detail You See

Level	What you get
minimal	Subject, sender, date — no body
standard	Subject, sender, date, body content (default)
full	Everything — full body, all recipients, internet headers

tool: read-email
params:
  id: "AAMkAGR..."
  outputVerbosity: "full"

Browse Conversation Threads

To see your inbox grouped by conversation instead of individual messages:

“Show me my recent email threads”

tool: search-emails
params:
  groupByConversation: true

This returns one entry per conversation thread, showing the most recent message in each.

Read an Entire Thread

Once you have a conversation ID, get all messages in the thread:

“Show me the full thread for that conversation”

tool: search-emails
params:
  conversationId: "AAQkAGR..."

Messages are returned in chronological order so you can follow the discussion.

Include Headers with Email Content

To see basic email headers alongside the body:

tool: read-email
params:
  id: "AAMkAGR..."
  includeHeaders: true

For forensic header analysis (DKIM, SPF, delivery chain), see Investigate Email Headers.

Tips

• Search first with search-emails, then read with read-email using the returned ID
• Use groupByConversation: true to get a bird’s-eye view of your inbox threads
• Use outputVerbosity: "minimal" when you’re scanning multiple emails and only need subject lines
