Meta Muse splits your unread into three piles — urgent, can wait, newsletters — and drafts the replies for the urgent ones. You read them, tweak what you want, and send nothing until you say so.
⚡ Power controls
Scope to specific labels or folders, keep send-permission off, and run one side chat per project or client.
Steps
- Connect Gmail or Outlook: Gmail setup → · Outlook setup →.
- Paste the prompt → Muse sorts your last 20 unread into urgent / can wait / newsletters.
- Review the drafts Muse wrote and send nothing until you approve it.

- Can I limit what Muse reads in my inbox?
- Yes — scope it to specific labels or folders, start read-only, and disconnect in Muse → Connectors whenever you want.
