Agents can now have their own email!

@atomic_mail just launched something to fix a missing piece in agentic workflows: agents need inboxes of their own, not borrowed human ones.

So Atomic Mail connects to popular agents like Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI-based agents, and custom API agents through MCP, Agent Skill, or direct JMAP/REST API.

With one prompt, an agent can get its own inbox and start handling workflows like newsletter monitoring, job applications, invoice processing, customer support, competitive tracking, and human escalation over email.

Their smart design choice is PoW (Proof-of-Work) plus reputation, because single good agents move normally while mass spam attempts become expensive and low-reputation senders get throttled.

PoW here means each agent has to do a tiny computational task before sending email, which is cheap for one real agent but expensive for someone trying to spin up 1M spam agents.

And for "Reputation" agents need to keep sending normal, non-flagged emails to earn more trust over time, while suspicious agents get slowed down or blocked.
