A mail gateway lets AI agents read remote IMAP, SMTP, and JMAP mailboxes while requiring human approval before sending or deleting.

Teams giving agents access to operational email
Worth noticing
The interactive approval card includes a five-second undo window and displays a 41-minute expiry in its demo state.

Field notes

The gateway keeps the agent away from the underlying mail server: it reads through its own connection and returns proposed actions for human review. The page shows a concrete draft with recipients, mailbox, token, and approval identifiers, then describes expiry, exactly-once execution, and audit rows. A hosted release is offered through a waiting list, while the homepage also points visitors toward self-hosting.
