# Inbox triage that tells you what actually needs you > Momo sorts the last 7 days of Gmail into needs reply, FYI, cold pitches, newsletters, receipts and notifications, then clears the noise with a 7-day undo. Source: https://askmomo.app/inbox-triage ยท Updated 10 October 2026 Momo reads the last week of your Gmail, separates the people from the noise, and clears the noise with one tap. Nothing is deleted, starred mail is never touched, and every archive can be undone for 7 days. ## Six buckets, one tap Momo sorts up to 100 messages from the last 7 days into needs reply, FYI, cold pitches, newsletters and promos, receipts and bills, and notifications. Header rules go first and cost nothing: Gmail category labels, List-Unsubscribe, automated senders, receipt subjects. Only mail from real people goes to the AI, and anything it is unsure about counts as needs reply. - Bulk archive works only on FYI, cold pitches, newsletters, receipts and notifications. Needs-reply mail is never bulk-archived. - Starred mail is skipped. Any thread that also holds a needs-reply message is protected. - Archive removes the INBOX label. Nothing is ever deleted. - Every archive gets a batch id. Undo puts the whole batch back, for up to 7 days. - Mail you archive yourself in Gmail is recognised on the next scan. ## In chat and in the brief Say "clean up my inbox" and Momo shows one card for newsletters, notifications and cold pitches, then asks separately about receipts and FYI. The morning brief shows the counts too: "Inbox: 12 newsletters, 4 receipts" with a link to clear them. ## Why not just filters? Filters are rules you wrote once. Triage is a judgement made fresh every day on mail you have not seen. The combination of free header rules and AI only for person-to-person mail keeps it cheap, fast and private: senders, subjects and snippets are stored encrypted and purged after 14 days. ## Questions ### Does Momo delete emails? No. Archiving removes the INBOX label only. Everything stays in Gmail and can be found with search or restored with undo. ### What if it files something wrong? You can recategorise any item, dismiss it from triage, or undo an entire archive batch for 7 days. ### Which Gmail permission does triage need? Reading your inbox needs gmail.readonly. Archiving needs gmail.modify. Momo tells you if you connected before that permission existed and asks you to reconnect. ### Is my email content stored? Triage stores the sender, subject and a short snippet, encrypted, for 14 days. Email bodies are not stored. ## Related - [The Gmail AI assistant that does the follow-through](https://askmomo.app/gmail-ai-assistant) - [Your day, in one email, before you open your inbox](https://askmomo.app/morning-brief) - [Know who hasn't replied, before you forget you asked](https://askmomo.app/follow-up-tracking) - [Built so that a mistake by the AI cannot become a sent email](https://askmomo.app/security) --- Momo (Ask Momo, askmomo.app) is an AI chief of staff for Gmail and Google Calendar, built in India.
