What is Agent Mail
Agent Mail is an AI Agent-exclusive email service launched by Tencent QQ Mail, fully isolated from personal email and natively adapted to Agent frameworks. Agents can obtain an independent email address through WeChat QR code authorization, securely send and receive emails, manage attachments, and search emails. It supports a two-stage confirmation mechanism to prevent misoperations, making it currently the Agent email solution with the lowest entry barrier in China.
Main features of Agent Mail
- WeChat QR code authorization: No password required. Authorization can be completed via WeChat OAuth QR code scanning. The Agent obtains an exclusive email address, fully isolated from personal QQ/WeChat email.
- Email list management: Supports filtering by folders such as Inbox, Sent, Trash, and Spam, and allows flexible queries by time range, unread status, whether attachments are included, and other conditions.
- Email reading: Retrieves the complete content of an email, including the body, sender, recipients, CC, and attachment information.
- Email search: Supports keyword search of subject and body, and can filter by combinations of sender, recipient, time, attachments, and other conditions.
- Send email: Supports recipients, CC, and BCC, supports HTML-format body, and allows up to 3 attachments.
- Reply and forward: One-click reply (supports reply all) or forward, also supporting attachments and HTML format.
- Attachment management: Supports uploading attachments to send with emails and downloading attachments locally; oversized attachments directly return download links.

Core advantages of Agent Mail
- Fully isolated from personal email: The Agent has an independent email address, minimizing permissions, so even if the Agent has problems, personal privacy will not be leaked.
- Two-stage confirmation mechanism: All write operations (send/reply/forward/delete) require first generating an operation summary and confirmation token, and are only truly executed after user confirmation, eliminating accidental sending.
- Prompt injection protection: When reading emails, "instructions" in the email content will not be executed as commands, preventing malicious emails from manipulating Agent behavior through content.
- Deep binding with the domestic ecosystem: Ready to use via WeChat QR code scanning, no VPN needed, most friendly to domestic developers and enterprises.
- Already listed on Tencent SkillHub: Natively adapted to Tencent's Agent ecosystem, three-step installation, five-minute onboarding.
