Feature request: Support multiple connected email accounts with per-account access controls

I’d like to be able to connect more than one email account to ChatGPT at the same time, and choose which account ChatGPT can use for a specific task.
A lot of people do not use one email address for everything. I have a business account, a separate external-facing account, and a personal account. Right now, using email tools well can mean disconnecting and reconnecting accounts depending on what I’m doing, which creates unnecessary friction.
The most useful version would let users:
* connect multiple email accounts
* choose which account to search or draft from
* limit a chat, project, or automation to specific accounts
* clearly see which account each result came from
* prevent sending from the wrong account by mistake
This would make email-connected workflows more practical and safer. It would also respect the way many people actually manage work, business, and personal communication.
The ideal experience would be simple: “search my business email,” “draft this from my external account,” or “search all accounts, but do not send anything.”
I’ve seen other users ask for something similar, and I think this would make connected email much more useful without forcing people to collapse separate parts of their lives into one inbox.
