# Reading & organising

What happens between mail arriving and you deciding what to do about it.

## In this section

- [Full-text search](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/search.md): Forgiving words and operators like from: and has:, inside the folder you are reading.
- [Search in plain language](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/ai-search.md): Ask the command palette for what you want and it writes the query.
- [Read in your language](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/translate-read.md): A message you cannot read, turned into a language you can, without leaving it.
- [Labels](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/labels.md): Name a label, pick one of six colours, and filter the list down to it.
- [Thread notes](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/notes.md): Keep a private note attached to a thread.
- [Analytics & graphs](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/insights.md): What your mailbox is actually doing, drawn rather than guessed at.
- [Recipient suggestions](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/contacts.md): The people you already write to, offered as you type.
- [Keyboard-first](https://openemail.uk/docs/knowledge/reading/shortcuts.md): The palette is ⌘K, the assistant is ⌘0, and the list moves under the arrow keys.
