agent-email-patterns

Architecture patterns for AI agents that communicate over email -- why agents need dedicated inboxes rather than human email accounts, infrastructure/provider tradeoffs, one-inbox-per-agent, two-way conversation loops, human-in-the-loop drafts, WebSocket vs webhook event design, multi-agent topologies, OTP flows, and the threat model (prompt injection, webhook spoofing, credential exposure, data leakage). Use when designing how agents send, receive, and manage email conversations, evaluating whether an agent needs email, or choosing an email provider; do not use for AgentMail SDK method calls or basic send/receive implementation.
