1# Query 10: Comprehensive Multi-Method Email Dashboard
2
3## Use Case Description
4A comprehensive dashboard query that combines multiple JMAP methods to provide a complete email management overview: recent activity, mailbox statistics, thread summaries, and system status. This demonstrates advanced JMAP usage with complex result reference chains.
5
6## Key JMAP Concepts Used
7- **Complex result reference chains**: Multiple levels of method dependencies
8- **Batch operations**: Efficient multi-method requests
9- **Mailbox statistics**: Using server-computed counts and states
10- **Thread aggregation**: Grouping emails by conversation
11- **System state monitoring**: Tracking account-wide changes
12- **Advanced filtering**: Multiple simultaneous filter conditions

341## Explanation of Key Features
342
343### Dashboard Components Overview
344
345This comprehensive query provides a complete email management dashboard with:
346
3471. **Mailbox Statistics** - Server-computed counts and folder organization
3482. **Recent Activity** - Latest unread emails with full context
3493. **Priority Items** - Flagged unread emails requiring attention
3504. **Thread Context** - Conversation information for recent emails
3515. **Outgoing Activity** - Recent email submissions and delivery status
3526. **System Status** - Vacation response and identity configuration
353
354### Advanced Result Reference Patterns
355
356**Multi-Level References:**
357```json
358{
359 "#ids": {
360 "resultOf": "eq0",
361 "name": "Email/query",
362 "path": "/ids/*/threadId"
363 }
364}
365```
366- Extracts thread IDs from all emails in first query
367- `*/threadId` path syntax gets threadId from each email object
368- Enables batch Thread/get for conversation context
369
370**Parallel Processing:**
371- Multiple Email/query operations run simultaneously
372- Independent Email/get calls for different result sets
373- System configuration calls (VacationResponse, Identity) run in parallel
374- Efficient batch processing reduces total request time
375
376### Dashboard Data Analysis
377
378**Mailbox Health Metrics:**
379```json
380{
381 "inbox": {"totalEmails": 1247, "unreadEmails": 23, "unreadThreads": 18},
382 "vip": {"totalEmails": 34, "unreadEmails": 3, "unreadThreads": 3}
383}
384```
385
386**Key Performance Indicators:**
387- **Inbox Health**: 23 unread out of 1,247 total (1.8% unread rate)
388- **Thread Efficiency**: 18 unread threads vs 23 unread emails (some multi-email threads)
389- **VIP Attention**: 3 unread VIP emails requiring priority attention
390- **Draft Management**: 7 draft emails needing completion
391
392### Dashboard Business Logic
393
394**Priority Calculation:**
3951. **Urgent**: Flagged + unread emails (immediate attention)
3962. **Important**: VIP folder unread emails (high priority)
3973. **Recent**: New emails from last few days (regular processing)
3984. **Backlog**: Older unread emails (cleanup candidates)
399
400**Workflow Optimization:**
401- Process flagged emails first (most urgent)
402- Handle VIP folder communications next (relationship management)
403- Review recent inbox activity (daily workflow)
404- Schedule time for draft completion (pending communications)
405
406### Advanced Dashboard Queries
407
408**Time-Based Activity Analysis:**
409```json
410{
411 "filter": {
412 "operator": "AND",
413 "conditions": [
414 {"after": "2024-08-24T00:00:00Z"},
415 {"before": "2024-08-25T00:00:00Z"}
416 ]
417 }
418}
419```
420
421**Cross-Mailbox Priority Items:**
422```json
423{
424 "filter": {
425 "operator": "OR",
426 "conditions": [
427 {"inMailbox": "Mvip"},
428 {"hasKeyword": "$flagged"},
429 {"hasKeyword": "urgent"}
430 ]
431 }
432}
433```
434
435**Thread Activity Monitoring:**
436```json
437{
438 "filter": {
439 "operator": "AND",
440 "conditions": [
441 {"hasKeyword": "$answered", "value": false},
442 {"after": "2024-08-20T00:00:00Z"},
443 {"from": "*@important-client.com"}
444 ]
445 }
446}
447```
448
449### Performance Optimization Strategies
450
451**Batch Operation Benefits:**
452- Single HTTP request for all dashboard data
453- Parallel server processing of independent queries
454- Reduced network latency and connection overhead
455- Atomic consistency across all dashboard components
456
457**Selective Property Loading:**
458- Minimal property sets for overview data
459- Full properties only where needed for display
460- Efficient bandwidth usage for mobile clients
461- Faster response times for dashboard updates
462
463**Smart Caching Strategy:**
464- Mailbox statistics change infrequently (cache longer)
465- Recent email queries change frequently (shorter cache)
466- System configuration rarely changes (long cache periods)
467- Thread information is relatively stable (moderate caching)
468
469### Dashboard Integration Patterns
470
471**Real-Time Updates:**
472- Use `queryState` values for change detection
473- Implement push notifications for high-priority items
474- Periodic dashboard refresh for activity monitoring
475- Delta updates for changed data only
476
477**Mobile Optimization:**
478- Smaller result sets for bandwidth constraints
479- Progressive loading of secondary information
480- Offline caching of critical dashboard data
481- Touch-optimized priority item handling
482
483**Business Intelligence Integration:**
484- Export dashboard metrics for trend analysis
485- Integration with productivity tracking systems
486- Communication pattern analysis for optimization
487- Performance metrics for email management efficiency
