What is Recap?

Supercharge

Recap is a daily list of emails that may need your attention: replies you owe, emails that never got an answer, and dates coming up. Recap needs Newton Pro.

How it works

  • Once a day, at the time you choose (7:00 by default), Newton looks through your recent mail and builds your Recap. Open it from Recap in the sidebar on desktop (or press 0), or from the menu on your phone.
  • Each conversation appears once, in one of four groups:
    • No reply yet: you sent the last message 3 to 14 days ago, and it asked the other person to reply, decide or send something.
    • Waiting on you: someone wrote to you 1 to 14 days ago and is waiting for your reply.
    • Coming up: an email from the past week mentions a date, such as a booking, a due date or a reminder. It shows from 3 days before the date until the day itself.
    • Starred, still open: you starred it, and the other person sent the last message 2 to 30 days ago.
  • A short line with each group says why, such as "Sam is waiting for your reply".
  • On your phone, Recap can send you one notification a day.

Good to know

  • Recap replaces the old Today view.
  • Recap is off until you turn it on. It covers your personal accounts, not team mailboxes.
  • To sort your mail, Newton's AI reads the newest part of each candidate email, as plain text, up to 2,000 characters.
  • If you don't open Recap for 14 days, it stops updating until you open it again.
