Your OpenClaw agent needs email — without an open inbox
Gmail wasn’t built for agents. Neither was a shared team inbox. When an OpenClaw or Hermes agent can send to anyone, you’ve handed it a command channel — and platforms will treat bot-like traffic as abuse.
Assistant Mail gives each approved agent its own address on assistant-mail.ai. You stay in control:
- Allowlist who they can email
- Consent before send on paid plans
- Retention + spend caps you can see
Built for personal and small-team operators — not cold-outbound fleets.
Free is enough to test: 1 mailbox, 25 emails/day, short body retention. Starter is $9.99/mo in-app when you need more.
Setup takes minutes: MCP (npx @assistantmail/assistantmail-mcp) or ClawHub (openclaw skills install @assistantmail/assistant-mail).
Full quickstart: assistant-mail.ai/docs
Not an official OpenClaw or Hermes endorsement. Not for AISDR / cold outbound.
