Mail and calendar

Connecting your own address, how drafts and replies work, and how scheduling reads the calendar.

Connecting your address

Heyno includes a full mail client. You read and send from your own address rather than from a Heyno one, so nothing about how you appear to the people you write to changes.

Connecting an account is an explicit authorisation, and it can be revoked from the same place. If an authorisation lapses, which providers do periodically, mail stops sending rather than failing silently, and the account is flagged as needing re-authorisation.

Drafts and replies

Heyno drafts replies in your writing style, learned from mail you have already sent rather than from a generic template. The draft waits for you; nothing sends without an approval.

A thread is read as a thread. A reply drafted halfway down a long exchange takes account of what was already agreed rather than only the message immediately above it.

Calendar and scheduling

The calendar is read when scheduling anything, so a proposed time is one that is actually free. Availability rules, like working hours, buffers, and the meetings you never want stacked, are yours to set and are respected rather than optimised around.

Invitations that arrive by mail are parsed into calendar entries, including the ones from systems that send a poorly formed attachment.

Alarms and reminders

Reminders attached to calendar entries are delivered as notifications. Deleting an entry removes its reminders; changing the time moves them.
