FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete emails from my Mailsac inbox?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list messages and read their content. It cannot delete or move emails.

  • 02

    Can the AI send a reply to an email?

    No. This connector is designed for reading and extracting data, not for sending outbound mail.

  • 03

    Should I use HTML or plain text for parsing links?

    If you need to extract URLs or interact with the structure of the email, use the HTML body. For simple text analysis, plain text is faster.

  • 04

    Can the AI see all my inboxes at once?

    No. The AI can only access the specific inboxes you direct it to via the tools.

  • 05

    Does the AI store my email content?

    No. The AI client processes the data it retrieves from Mailsac, but the content is not stored by the connector.
