The email inbox built for AI agents.
OpenMail is a real email API for AI agents. Give each agent its own inbox, send and receive email, and get replies instantly.
Works where you work.
Built for agents,
not marketers.
Traditional APIs were built to blast. OpenMail is built for two-way conversation — agents that read, parse, and act.
Instant Replies
Replies land in your agent's lap. No polling. Webhooks or WebSocket — pick what fits your stack.
Sender rules
Allowlists and blocklists by email or domain — scoped per account, pod, or inbox. Block noise before it reaches your handler.
One inbox per agent
Each agent gets its own email address. Not shared inboxes, not forwarding — real identity for every agent you build.
LLM-ready attachments
PDFs, CSVs, images, and docs arrive as plain text ready to drop into a prompt. Your agent never touches a MIME type.
Pick how your agent handles email.
Set a mode during setup. Switch anytime with openmail setup --reconfigure.
On demand
The agent sends and reads email when you ask. No background activity.
Alert on arrival
New email arrives, you get alerted. You decide what happens next.
Fully autonomous
Incoming email triggers an autonomous reply. No human in the loop.
Works with the agents you already use.
One command to give OpenClaw or Claude Code a real inbox. Or talk directly to the REST API — WebSocket for instant replies, no polling.

Frequently asked questions.
Writing
The Gmail suspension wasn't the problem. The architecture was.
Gmail suspensions for AI agents aren't random. The automation patterns that cause them look identical to spam. Here's what you've actually lost, why recovery rarely works, and how to move to something built for agents.
Resend Alternative for AI Agents
Resend handles outbound well. When the agent needs to receive and reply in thread, there's no inbox — the developer builds it. Here's how Resend and OpenMail compare on inbound architecture, threading, retention, pricing, and code.
OpenMail vs Nylas
Nylas connects to your users' existing inboxes. If your AI agent needs its own address, here's how Nylas Agent Accounts and OpenMail compare on limits, pricing, and code.
What Email Infrastructure for AI Agents Should Look Like
If you had to design email from scratch for AI agents, you wouldn't build Gmail. Here's what purpose-built infrastructure looks like — inbox-as-API, real-time delivery, threading, MIME parsing and IP warming/routing.
Best email providers for AI agents in 2026
Most rankings put a transactional API at the top. If your agent needs to receive a reply, correlate a thread, or handle an OTP in under five seconds, the top two picks will cost you a refactor.
OpenMail vs Mailgun vs Amazon SES
Mailgun sends. SES is cheap. Neither was built for agents that receive, thread, and parse attachments. Here’s what’s actually different between all three.
Why Every Email Option Falls Short for AI Agents
Gmail bans agents. Proton has no API. Outlook is a maze. Resend can't receive. A look at why every email option falls short for AI agents and what the risks are.
How to Give OpenClaw Its Own Email Address
One ClawHub command gives your OpenClaw agent a dedicated inbox with real-time delivery. Choose a usage mode — tool, notify, or channel — and you're done.
Why Your AI Agent Needs Its Own Email Address
An agent can browse the internet, write code, take actions. But without an email address it has no identity it can actually use.
We're EU-Based. That's Not a Footnote — It's the Point.
OpenMail is built in the EU, runs in the EU, and every customer is covered by GDPR — not as a checkbox, but as a legal guarantee.
Your AI Agent Needs an Email Address. Here's Why That's Harder Than It Sounds.
Email feels like a solved problem — until you try to give an AI agent its own inbox. Here's what we learned building email infrastructure for autonomous agents.
This Is Not for Human Eyes
We noticed that AI agents were finding OpenMail before we'd fully built for them. Here's what we saw — and what we built next.
Every AI agent deserves its own inbox.
Install the CLI, run setup, and you're sending email from your agent in minutes.
