-## Email Watch
-
-When enabled, hypermail-mcp runs a background poll loop that scans inboxes for
-new messages and delivers each one via webhook POST and/or shell command.
-Intended for push-based email triage — downstream agents receive full email
-content without polling.
-
-```bash
-HYPERMAIL_WATCH_ENABLED=true \
-HYPERMAIL_WATCH_POLL_SECONDS=10 \
-HYPERMAIL_WATCH_WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:3000/api/email-webhook \
-HYPERMAIL_WATCH_NOTIFY_COMMAND='node /path/to/email-handler.js' \
-hypermail-mcp
-```
+## Pull new emails
 
-**Validation:** If `HYPERMAIL_WATCH_ENABLED=true`, startup requires at least one
-of `HYPERMAIL_WATCH_WEBHOOK_URL` or `HYPERMAIL_WATCH_NOTIFY_COMMAND`. Webhook
-URLs are syntax-validated, and notify commands must be non-empty. Startup does
-not test network reachability or execute the command.
+`get_new_emails` is the replacement for server-side watch/push delivery. The
+server does not run background cron jobs; agents or their harnesses call this
+tool on their own schedule, for example every 30–60 seconds.
 
 **Behavior:**
-- Polls **all accounts** in the store, **inbox only**.
-- Detects new emails via `lastSeenIds` (capped at 200) stored in the encrypted
-  account file — no duplicate emits across restarts.
-- Two delivery modes (can be used together):
-  - **Webhook:** One `POST` per email (full body as `EmailFull` JSON).
-  - **Notify command:** Executes `HYPERMAIL_WATCH_NOTIFY_COMMAND` through the
-    platform shell with the `EmailFull` JSON piped to stdin.
-- Both modes use exponential backoff (`baseDelay × 2^attempt`). Retries on
-  failures (non-2xx for webhook, non-zero exit for command). Logs and moves on
-  after `maxAttempts` exhausted — never blocks the poll loop.
-- Command delivery is fire-and-forget — the poll loop continues while delivery
-  runs in the background.
-- Works in both **stdio** and **HTTP** transport modes — the poll interval
-  fires normally alongside MCP message handling.
-
-**Rate limits:** Polling every 10s on a single inbox = 6 req/min = 0.6% of
-Microsoft Graph's 10,000 req/10min per-user limit. Safe for personal inboxes.
+- Polls **inbox only**.
+- `account` is optional. When omitted, the tool checks all registered accounts.
+- `limit` defaults to `10`. In all-account mode, the limit is a global total
+  across accounts, selected by oldest `receivedAt` first.
+- First use for an account initializes its checkpoint to the newest inbox email
+  and returns no emails for that account.
+- Later calls return emails not previously returned by this tool, oldest first.
+- Returned bodies are markdown and may be truncated around 20k characters; call
+  `read_email` for the full body when needed.
+- Attachments are returned as metadata only; call `read_attachment` for content.
+- The tool does not mark emails as read.
+- `limit: 0` can initialize/check state without fetching message bodies.
+
+All-account calls return partial failures as `errors: [{ account, message }]`
+and still return successful accounts' emails.
