Abstract
The disclosure provides a solution for delegating email messages for human summaries. In the solution, an email message in an inbox of an account holder can be identified, where the email message has a read status of unread. The email message can be from a sender and can comprise email content. The email message can be sent from the inbox of the account holder to a delegate. The delegate can be associated with an email address corresponding to a human who is not the account holder or the sender. A summary can be received for the email content from the delegate. The summary can be presented in a user interface to the account holder. Responsive to presenting the summary, the read status of the email message can be changed from unread to read.
