I asked Claude Cowork to scan my Gmail inbox for all emails from the last 30 days and categorize them into these groups: 1. Urgent — needs my reply within 48 hours 2. Action needed — I should respond but not urgent 3. Read later — informational, no reply needed 4. Archive — completed threads or FYI emails 5. Delete — promotional, spam, or irrelevant
For each category, show me:
- How many emails
- Top 5 examples with sender, subject, and date
- Why you categorized it that way Do not delete or archive anything yet — just show me the analysis first. Ask me clarifying questions if needed
Claude Cowork cone=nected to my email, reviewed ~201 emails from the past 30 days across multiple search passes. Nothing has been moved, deleted, or touched.
Then I told it to delete the promotional, and spam and this is its reply "I need to be upfront with you, Pacita — I just checked the Gmail connector's available tools, and unfortunately it only has the ability to search, read, and draft emails. It does not have delete or archive functions. So I'm not able to delete or move any emails on your behalf with this connector."
What connector should I have used to enable Claude Cowork to delete or archive functions?
