Drafting and sending email
emily drafts a message for your review, and sends it from your own account on Outlook and IMAP — on Gmail, sending from your own account isn't available yet.
A draft first, always
Ask emily to write an email — a follow-up, a recap, a reply — and a draft appears for you to review before anything happens. Nothing goes out until you've seen it.
Email is per person: each person connects their own mailbox, and drafting and sending both work against that account, not an organisation-wide inbox. See connect calendar and mailbox for how to connect Outlook, Gmail, or IMAP.
Sending to someone else needs your OK
If the message is going to anyone other than you, emily summarises it and asks you to confirm before it sends. A note to yourself just goes; anything addressed to a client or colleague waits for your yes first.
Outlook and IMAP send from your own account
With Outlook or IMAP connected, sending an email means it goes out from your own mailbox — it lands in your real Sent folder, exactly as if you'd hit send yourself.
Gmail: reading and drafting work, sending from your own account does not — yet
If your mailbox is Gmail, sending from your own account isn't available yet. Google's approval for this is still pending. Reading your inbox and drafting emails work today on Gmail exactly like on any other mailbox — it's only sending from your own Gmail account that isn't live. Ask emily to send from Gmail and she'll tell you this herself, plainly, rather than acting as if it went through.
If an email can't be delivered, emily says so and why — she never tells you something was sent when it wasn't.
Reports arrive as an email, not a file
If you ask emily to send a report by email, it arrives as the email itself — the report formatted directly in the body — never as a file attached to the message. See sending a report by email or WhatsApp for how that works.
