Enable the Agent Mail overlay in a Docker deployment so the agent can send, reply to, forward and search email and download attachments through agently-cli, set up in four short steps.
Agent Mail lets the agent handle emails through the agently-cli command-line tool: sending, replying, forwarding, searching, reading emails, downloading attachments, and managing the inbox.It is provided as an optional Docker Compose overlay. The default docker-compose.yml deployment is unchanged; the overlay only installs Node.js and agently-cli into the container when you choose to enable it.
The COMPOSE_FILE entry in .env makes every later docker compose command in this directory (including pull for upgrades) apply the overlay automatically.
On the first start, Node.js and agently-cli are downloaded into ./agent-mail-data/, so later restarts, container recreation, and image upgrades do not download them again. If the download fails, CowAgent still starts normally without Agent Mail; check the [agent-mail] lines in docker compose logs and restart to retry.
If downloads are slow, change NODE_MIRROR and NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY in docker-compose.agent-mail.yml to a closer mirror, for example https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node and https://registry.npmmirror.com.
./agent-mail-data/config contains your mailbox credentials. Keep it private and do not commit or share it.
