Mails.ai — Agent Email runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 76 installs a week from npm. Last commit 4 Sep 2026.
A real inbox for AI agents: send, receive and thread email, behind a prompt-injection firewall.
Today is the operative word: we check Mails.ai — Agent Email every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
