list_email_accounts

Email · macOS

Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Lists all Mail.app account NAMES (fast — cached, no Mail lock). This is the preferred way to get account names: call it first to discover them, then use list_emails(account=name) to fetch messages from a specific account. If you also need each account's email addresses or type (imap/pop/iCloud), use list_accounts instead.

Required inputs

No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.
