The sent folder is the real ledger, and nobody reads it.
[the seam in one line]
Gmail already has the promise. Oppulence is how that sentence becomes a row you can still find after the thread goes quiet.
If you connect one thing, connect Gmail. Access starts read-only. The current window is 6 months. That is a product limit.
The seam
01 · the usual category
What the inbox is for.
Writing and finding threads. Search works if you remember the words. It does not answer 'what did we owe Acme after Thursday'.
02 · where oppulence sits
What we take from the inbox.
Recent threads become commitments with sources. A follow-up can be drafted against the same mailbox. Sending still waits.
Where the jobs split
Read window
01- The usual tool
- The whole mailbox, if you search it
- Oppulence
- 6 months of Gmail in the current connector
Write
02- The usual tool
- You send
- Oppulence
- gmail_draft and gmail_send, after approval
Calendar
03- The usual tool
- A separate Google product
- Oppulence
- Same Google OAuth start path
System of record
04- The usual tool
- The thread
- Oppulence
- The register, citing the thread
Honest limits
- Outlook is not in the first-party relationship connector set. Voice mentions Microsoft calendar for that app's own meeting detection.
Questions people actually ask
The current Gmail window is 6 months. That is intentional.
