move_email
Email · macOS
Effect: write (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
Moves an email to another mailbox (nested target folders are found by name). Pass account= (returned by list_emails/search_emails) so the message lookup targets one account instead of scanning all of them — without it, multi-account Macs are slow and can time out on bulk moves. If you know the folder the message is in, also pass mailbox= (the `mailbox` field from the listing) so the lookup searches it first.
Required inputs
message_idtarget_mailbox
Permissions and confirmation
Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.
- Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
