Email (Gmail and Outlook)

Norian supports Gmail and Outlook (Microsoft 365). Access is read-only in both cases: we can see your messages, but we can't send, delete, or change anything in your mailbox.

Read-only, always

Whichever provider you connect, Norian reads incoming and outgoing email, extracts a one-line summary of any commitment, request, or decision, and discards the original message right after. Nothing else in your mailbox is touched, and nothing beyond that summary is kept.

Two ways to connect Outlook

Most accounts, Gmail and Outlook alike, connect through Norian's hosted connection provider. Some Outlook accounts connect through a direct Microsoft path instead. Both give Norian the same read-only access to your mailbox; the difference is which service handles the connection behind the scenes, not what Norian can see or do with it.
