Communications

Communications is one inbox for every channel: each Gmail account, each Telegram account and each WhatsApp number, with the same list, the same reading view and the same composer.

The left column

• Needs attention and Unread.
• Mailboxes: Inbox, Starred, Sent, Drafts, Spam, and Gmail's tabs.
• Smart boxes: Needs reply, Waiting on others, Money, Personal, Newsletters, sorted by Jev as messages arrive (with a TypeSafe key).
• Channels and Accounts: one channel or account at a time, or All accounts.
• People: everyone you talk with. One click shows all their threads across mail, Telegram and WhatsApp.

Search filters the list as you type.

People, not channels

Conversations are matched to contacts in your Goethe vaults by email address, phone number or name. A thread names its contacts; click one to open the contact page in Knowledge. Star a person to keep them at the top.

Create contacts as typed documents (type contact) or in a contacts folder of a vault.

Reading and replying

Open a thread to read it. Mail renders as sent, with remote images held back unless you allow them. Replies use the composer: rich text or Markdown, the account to write as, your signature, and translation. Draft with Alma asks your accomplice for a draft you edit. Nothing goes out until you press send.

Create task turns a message into a task.

What your accomplice sees

A Telegram or WhatsApp chat stays closed to your accomplice until you press Allow Alma to see this chat. Mail follows each Google account's settings. See Privacy, connection by connection.

Belongs to

Each conversation belongs to an identity. Belongs to moves a single conversation to another identity, for example a supplier chat on your personal Telegram to your company. It then shows when you act as that company, and follows its permissions. See Who owns what.

Fast

The list reads Mandala's own index of every thread, so switching views is instant and counts are always there. Rows keep their place while you scroll; new threads wait behind an N new pill. Each row shows its source: the channel and the mailbox or chat account. Search answers from the index as you type, then Gmail's own search adds what the index lacks.

Select several threads to archive, mark read or unread, star or report spam at once.

Keyboard

Attachments

Each file on a mail or Telegram message has Open (a panel beside the thread, a sheet on a phone: PDFs, images, text, audio and video inline) and Add to Library. Files already in your Library show In Library.
