Question 1

What is AgentMail?

Accepted Answer

AgentMail is an email inbox API at agentmail.to built for AI agents—programmatic inboxes with send, receive, threading, and webhooks so agents handle email as a native tool.

Question 2

Why not just use IMAP for agent email?

Accepted Answer

IMAP is a human-mailbox protocol: no webhooks, fragile threading, shared credentials, and no per-agent scoping. AgentMail exposes email as modern API infrastructure designed for automated use.

Question 3

Does AgentMail handle deliverability?

Accepted Answer

It provides the sending infrastructure, but domain reputation, warm-up, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication remain your responsibility—treat them as part of the integration.

Question 4

Can each agent get its own email address?

Accepted Answer

Yes—inboxes are created programmatically, so per-agent, per-workflow, or per-interaction addresses are the intended pattern.
