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.comwith 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.
