Email Accounts/Connections

OpenClaw can use separate email connections for IMAP retrieval and SMTP delivery. Account passwords and app passwords remain in protected credentials and are not documented here.

Relationships

IMAP is used for controlled inbox retrieval and document or workflow triage.
SMTP is used only for explicitly approved outbound delivery.
AgentMail is a separate API-based agent inbox service, not the same as a personal IMAP/SMTP mailbox.
Gmail and mail.com connections are separate accounts with separate protected credentials and host allowlists.
Email skills and automations call the connection layer; BookStack records the safe configuration model, not message secrets.

Safe configuration references

Documented settings include provider hostname, protocol, port, enabled state and workflow ownership. Credentials, tokens, mailbox contents and message bodies are excluded.
