AgentMail provides the IMAP+SMTP server as managed service

AgentMail provides the IMAP+SMTP server. Other email providers ban email accounts created for agents, while that is what AgentMail is designed for.

I do think agents will become users in the same capacity as humans.

Yes we are adding for email/domain allow/blocklists. Same for fine-grained permissions.

We have had some users get banned from Gmail for using it Clawdbot. Regardless our API is way more agent friendly and I think your Clawdbot would agree.

The nice thing about email is that identity verification is already built in. In fact online identity is based on email.

This refers to B2B use cases that are live in production. Finding, contacting, and negotiating with vendors is a tedious process in many industries. In the time a human reaches out to 10 vendors, an agent reaches out to 100 or 1000. So it finds deals that a human would not have.

Because we built the same inbox infrastructure as Gmail. Inboxes have threads, threads have messages, messages have attachments. You can search, label, filter, reply, forward. None of this comes out of the box with SES.

Network effects - agents need to meet humans where they already work. Would rather use something standard than bespoke.
