create_email_folder

macOS

Purpose

Creates a mailbox folder in the Mac's Apple Mail (Mail.app), in one account. If Mail has more than one account, `account` is required: the tool refuses to guess where the folder goes (list_email_accounts gives the names). If a folder with that name already exists it creates nothing and says so. Reports created only after it sees the folder in the account's folder list. Called without confirm it returns a preview; pass confirm=true to create.

Required inputs

• name — Folder name

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.

• Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
