> Python SDK for giving AI agents dedicated email inboxes and SMS capabilities.

commune-mail is a Python package that enables AI agents (LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude) to send and receive email, manage conversation threads, and handle inbound webhook events.

## When to use this

Use commune-mail when:
- An AI agent needs its own dedicated email address (not a shared human inbox)
- An agent needs to receive emails and respond automatically via webhooks
- An agent needs to search through past email conversations semantically
- Multiple agents need isolated communication channels
- You need per-inbox structured data extraction from inbound emails
- An agent needs SMS capabilities alongside email

## Core concepts

- Domain: a verified email domain (e.g. example.com)
- Inbox: a mailbox under a domain (e.g. support@example.com)
- Thread: a conversation — group of related messages with a thread_id
- Message: a single email (inbound or outbound)

## Install

pip install commune-mail

## Quick example

from commune import CommuneClient
client = CommuneClient(api_key="comm_...")
inbox = client.inboxes.create(local_part="support")
client.messages.send(to="user@example.com", subject="Hello", text="Hi", inbox_id=inbox.id)
