proton_read_email

Proton Mail · macOS · Windows

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

Reads one Proton Mail message by the id proton_list_emails or proton_search_emails returned: sender, recipients, subject, date, the body as plain text, and the names and sizes of its attachments (not their content). The message is not marked as read. Read from Proton Mail Bridge on this computer; it requires a Proton plan that includes Bridge, with Bridge running.

Required inputs

id — Message id from proton_list_emails or proton_search_emails.
