What it does

This skill enables AI agents to send and receive emails directly using IMAP and SMTP protocols. It allows for automated communication workflows without requiring manual email client interaction.

When to use it

• Automating routine notifications like order confirmations or password resets.
• Fetching incoming support tickets from a shared inbox for triage.
• Sending scheduled reports or digests to specific user groups.
• Triggering external actions based on incoming email content (e.g., parsing invoices).

Key capabilities

• Connects to standard IMAP servers to retrieve and read emails.
• Sends outbound messages via SMTP servers with configurable authentication.
• Supports structured data handling for both incoming and outgoing mail.
• Integrates seamlessly into existing AI agent workflows for communication tasks.

Example prompts

• "Check my inbox for any new support tickets from the last hour and summarize them."
• "Send a welcome email to all users who signed up today using our SMTP server."
• "Monitor my email for mentions of 'urgent' and alert me if any are found."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has proper credentials (username/password or OAuth tokens) configured securely before attempting to connect. Be mindful of rate limits imposed by your email service provider to avoid being flagged as spam.
