Let OpenClaw or Hermes read your inbox and draft replies

Your agent sorts the inbox and writes the replies. You read the drafts and press send yourself.

The short answer

To give OpenClaw or Hermes email access safely, connect them through MoltenMail instead of giving them your mailbox password. MoltenMail lets the agent list folders, read messages and save drafts, and blocks sending, deleting, moving and marking, even if the agent asks. Your password stays in MoltenMail, in the macOS Keychain, and attachments and remote images aren’t passed through by default.

The problem

Full mailbox access is too much for an agent

Passwords in configs
Many email setups for agents want your password in a file.
Send is dangerous
An agent that can send can be talked into forwarding the wrong thing.
Email is untrusted input
Any message can carry instructions aimed at your agent.

Questions

What people ask first

Can the agent ever send?

No. MoltenMail blocks sending; drafts wait in your Drafts folder.

Is this the same as MoltenRock’s keys for OpenClaw?

No. Email is its own lane; pairing OpenClaw for API keys never touches your mail.

Which providers work?

Your existing email account, through IMAP.

What does it cost?

MoltenMail is free; MoltenMail Pro ($9.99, one time) adds unlimited server drafts.

Your agent drafts. You send.
