email_list_folders

Lists one mailbox's folders and labels, normalized to a common type (inbox, sent, drafts, trash, spam, archive, starred, important, custom) alongside the provider's own identifier. Call this before email_move_message, email_delete_folder, or any folder-scoped search: those take folder ids from here, and the system flag tells you which folders cannot be deleted.

Input fields

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "account_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "description": "The connected mailbox to act on, from email_accounts_list. Never guess this value and never reuse one across mailboxes — it selects both the credential and the permission set the call runs under."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "account_id"
  ]
}
