Mark Gmail thread as unread

Mark a Gmail thread as unread by its hex threadId. Returns unread, threadId, the All Mail page it was found on, and already_unread. Acts from the All Mail list, scanning the first 4 pages (~200 newest threads). Safe to repeat: a thread that is already unread returns already_unread:true without clicking anything. Waits for Gmail to persist the change rather than returning on the optimistic row restyling, so the mail really is unread once the run ends.

Input

threadId required

Hex thread id, as returned by list_inbox / search_emails.

account optional

Gmail account address to act as (authuser pin). Omit for u/0.

Output

page required
unread required
threadId required
already_unread optional

Search Gmail

Search the signed-in Gmail with the native query syntax (from:, to:, subject:, has:attachment, after:/before:, labels…) and return matching threads: threadId (feed it to get_thread / reply_to_email), sender, senderEmail, subject, snippet, date, unread, starred, hasAttachment. Results are threads rather than individual messages, which is Gmail's own search granularity, and only the first page of results is returned (up to 50).

Forward Gmail thread

Forward an entire Gmail thread to one recipient, with an optional leading note. Takes the hex threadId that search_emails returns, and forwards the whole conversation inline rather than a single message. Returns forwarded, threadId and to. The thread must be on the first page of All Mail, newest-first, so older conversations cannot be reached this way.
