Everyone's trying to solve email for AI agents. Here's my setup

Everyone’s trying to solve email for AI agents. Here’s my setup:

ForwardEmail.net — $36/year. Unlimited domains. Unlimited email addresses. 10GB per inbox.

For agents:

• Add domain to ForwardEmail
• Create agent@project.com with a full inbox (not an alias)
• Add DNS records
• Have the agent write simple Python scripts to access via IMAP

No email UI needed. No per-seat cost. No extra service to manage.

My first instinct with any new tool: can I build it myself and eliminate one more account/cost/dependency?

Turns out, simple scripts + a cheap email service is all you need.
