Our summary

An inbox contains messages that need replies, bills, newsletters, and suspicious requests. This recipe asks Jev to choose a category and check whether a personal reply or deadline is involved. It can start with sample messages before connecting to a real Gmail account.

Ordinary software checks facts in message headers before asking Jev. Uncertain messages receive a review label, and suspicious mail never receives automatic reply or deadline labels. A preview makes no changes; applying the plan only adds labels and does not send, move, or delete mail.

Using real mail requires the user's own Google application and account permission. Sender details, the subject, and a limited body excerpt go to Jev through OpenRouter unless the headers-only option is used. The small sample's phishing results do not establish protection for a live inbox.

Key takeaways

Inspect proposed labels before enabling changes.
Do not turn urgency in suspicious mail into an instruction to act.
Review exactly which email information goes to an external service.
