Feature 18

Inbox

A unified inbox that connects multiple Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP/IMAP accounts per team. Send transactional and outreach mail using your real address (so replies thread back to your real inbox), tag with native Gmail labels and Outlook categories, and trigger Pointerly automations from inbound mail. Multi-account first: connect a personal + work mailbox, switch with one click, and apply settings (signature, fromName, reply-to, tracking) per account.

Capabilities

What you can do

Read, send, and tag mail from connected Gmail / Outlook / SMTP mailboxes — without leaving Pointerly.

01

Multi-account, per-team

Connect Gmail, Outlook, and SMTP mailboxes side-by-side. Each account is independent — independent signature, fromName, reply-to, and tracking settings. Switch from the inbox sidebar without leaving the page.

02

Native folders + labels

Inbox / Starred / Drafts / Sent / Archive / Spam / Trash are mapped to provider-native labels (Gmail) or folders (Outlook), so everything you do here is reflected in your real account. Tag messages with Gmail labels and Outlook categories from the right-click context menu.

03

Compose like Gmail

Bottom-right docked composer with minimize, maximize, and multiple drafts. Saved signature, fromName, and reply-to apply automatically. Open from the toolbar (blank) or from a message detail (pre-filled reply).

04

Send via your mailbox in automations

The Send Email action picks any connected mailbox so automated outreach lands in the recipient's inbox from your real address. Replies thread back to your inbox, not a no-reply alias.

05

Inbound rules and notifications

Match incoming mail (sender, subject, attachments, labels) and fan out to in-app, email, or Telegram notifications — powered by Gmail Pub/Sub push and Microsoft Graph webhook subscriptions.

06

Encrypted credentials, no plaintext

OAuth tokens and SMTP passwords are encrypted at rest by the same vault service that protects every other integration. SMTP credentials are verified with a real handshake before saving.
