Mailbox CLI (OpenClaw Skill)

Use the mailbox CLI as a tool to read and manage email. OpenClaw handles

channel delivery and scheduling. The mailbox CLI returns structured JSON

outputs and optional text summaries.

Requirements

• mailbox CLI installed (npm install -g mailbox-cli)
• Credentials in ~/.config/mailbox/auth.json

Commands (examples)

• mailbox account list --json
• mailbox email list --limit 20 --json
• mailbox email show --account-id --json
• mailbox email show --account-id --preview --no-html --json
• mailbox email show --account-id --preview --no-html --strip-urls --json
• mailbox email delete --account-id --folder INBOX --confirm --json
• mailbox digest run --json
• mailbox monitor run --json
• mailbox inbox --limit 15 --text

Safety rules

• Always use --json for automation and check success.
• Include --account-id for destructive operations.
• Destructive operations default to dry-run unless --confirm is provided.
• Prefer --dry-run before mutating when available.

Output contract

• JSON response includes success and error fields.
• error is an object with { code, message, detail? }.
• Exit codes: 0 success, 1 operation failed, 2 invalid usage.
