Pro Tips
Draft before sending — Ask Polaris AI to draft emails for review first
Use search creatively — "emails about X" works just like Gmail search
Reference context — "Reply to that email from John" - Polaris AI remembers
Batch operations — "Archive and label all emails from this thread as 'completed'"
Schedule important emails — Send in morning when people check email
Use templates — Ask for specific tone: "professional", "casual", "friendly"
Verify before confirming — Review email preview, especially tone and recipients
