# Search, draft, and send email
> Ask Parker to find your email, then draft new emails and replies you can edit, save to your Drafts folder, or send from your own address.
Ask Parker to find email and write emails and replies. Every draft appears as an editable card in chat, and nothing is sent until you choose a send option.
## Before you begin
* To search your mail, save drafts, or send from your address, [connect your mailbox](/email/connect-mailbox) first.
* For drafts that sound like you, set up your [writing style](/email/writing-style).
## Find email
Ask in plain words. Parker searches your connected mailbox and shows what it found, for example as a table of sender, subject, and date.
Show me the three most recent emails in my inbox. Just list sender, subject and date.
## Draft an email or reply
**Check before Parker changes Salesforce.**
* **Creating** a record shows a card with **Confirm** and **Reject**. Nothing is written until you select **Confirm**.
* **Updating** an existing record has no card. If you've told Parker exactly what to change, it makes the change straight away in **Live** mode.
See [How Parker acts on your behalf](/get-started/how-parker-acts).
Say who it's for and what it should say. For a reply, name the email you're answering.
Parker shows the draft in a card with **To**, **From**, **Subject**, and the message. You can edit the subject and message in the card.
Select **Shorter**, **Warmer**, or **Formal** to have Parker rewrite the draft. Each rewrite is a new version, such as **v2 of 2**. Use the arrows to move between versions.
Save it, send it, or open it in your mail app. See [What can I do with a draft?](#what-can-i-do-with-a-draft)
A reply shows **Replying to**, the sender, and the original subject and date. It notes that it "Sends as a reply on this conversation from your connected mailbox."
Draft a short email to [alex.rivera@example.com](mailto:alex.rivera@example.com) thanking them for their time today. Don't send it.
Draft a reply to the 'Coffee tomorrow?' email saying 10am works. Don't send it.
The badge on the card, such as **Compliant · 1 rule**, shows the result of your workspace's compliance check.
## What can I do with a draft?
| Option | What happens |
| - | - |
| **Send** | Parker sends the email from your connected mailbox. |
| **Save to drafts** | Parker saves the email to your mailbox's Drafts folder. Nothing is sent. |
| **More send options** (the arrow next to **Send**) | Choose **Send now**, **Send in 1 hour**, or **Send tomorrow at 9:00am**. Or choose **Open in Outlook**, **Open in Gmail**, or **Open in Mail** to finish the email in your mail app. |
| **More actions** (**…**) | Choose **Copy message**, **Why this draft?**, or **Discard draft**. |
## Draft emails for a group of leads
Parker can draft a personal email for each lead in a list. Nothing is sent. You review the drafts one at a time.
Say which leads and what every email should do. Parker reads the leads from Salesforce and drafts for each one.
A strip shows how many leads were in the list, how many got a draft, and how many were excluded, with a reason for each.
Each lead can have more than one version, such as **Soft check-in** and **Push forward**. Select a version to see it. Use the arrows to move between leads. The card counts how many you've sent and skipped.
Draft a short intro email to each of my 3 most recently created open leads. Don't send anything.
If the compliance check flags a lead draft, the card reads "Compliance flagged issues — revise the draft first." and the send buttons are unavailable. Select the compliance result, such as **5 of 7 passed**, to see each rule.
## Troubleshooting
Your mailbox isn't connected, or the connection needs attention. See [Connect your mailbox](/email/connect-mailbox).
The draft broke one of your workspace's rules, so it can't be sent yet. Select the compliance result to see which rule, then revise the draft.
The summary strip lists each excluded lead with a reason, such as a duplicate email address. Fix the records in Salesforce, then ask again.
