A published walkthrough shows someone asked OpenClaw to research local shower glass suppliers afterward contact them. The agent sent emails on its own, gathered replies, and managed the back-and-forth conversation inside a single chat thread. It produced supplier quotes through email.
Email is where a lot of admin quietly piles up. An agent that can read, sort, draft and follow up turns an inbox from a to-do list into something closer to a summary. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Email & Inbox on Agent Sightings (number 78 by interest), and one of 41 involving OpenClaw.

Go through my mail for this goal: collect shower glass supplier quotes by email. Propose labels, drafts, and unsubscribes as a checklist; change nothing until I approve.
Tip: Start with read-only access or 'draft, don't send', and check a few drafts before trusting it to send anything.
