Connecting Email Accounts
Connect During Onboarding
When you first sign up, Micro walks you through connecting your Gmail and Google Calendar. You can also connect accounts later in Settings → Connected Accounts.
Authorize Access
Grant Micro permission to read and send emails on your behalf and view/update calendar events. Micro only requests the minimum permissions needed.
If you are using an email alias, you will need to authenticate with the primary address first.
Unified Inbox Experience
When you connect multiple email accounts, Micro creates a unified inbox that combines all your emails in one place.You can still access individual account inboxes via the Email Views Panel.
System Views
Your inbox comes with built-in system views:- All Mail — Every email across all connected accounts
- Starred — Emails you’ve starred
- Sent — Emails you’ve sent
- Drafts — Unsent drafts
Navigating Your Inbox

- Customer Emails - Emails from customers needing responses
- Portfolio Updates - Updates from portfolio companies
- Fundraising - Emails related to your current raise
- Intros - Introduction emails that need follow-up

Micro AI can help you work through your inbox in powerful ways: Quick searches - Find specific bits of information like flight numbers, confirmation codes, or things people said in emails from any time period. Complex agentic searches - Run longer tasks like identifying every company you’ve purchased something from this year, or finding all emails where someone mentioned a specific topic. Take action - The AI agent can mark emails as done, change property values, draft emails, send emails, and delete drafts.AI Chat is currently not able to do aggregation tasks like “How many emails in the last two years involved XYZ?”
