What is 163 Email Management Skill?
This skill provides a robust interface for interacting with NetEase 163 email accounts, specifically designed to integrate with AI agents. By leveraging the IMAP ID extension (RFC 2971) and secure TLS/SSL connections, it enables developers and automations to programmatically handle communication workflows. Using this within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem allows for seamless transition between human-readable messages and structured data management.
Whether you need to send automated reports with multiple attachments or search through thousands of archive emails for specific verification codes, this tool provides the technical infrastructure to do so reliably. It is a vital component for those building automated communication pipelines using Openclaw Skills.
163 Email Management Skill Use Cases
- Automating daily status reports with file attachments via Openclaw Skills.
- Programmatically searching and retrieving verification codes from 163.com.
- Batch cleaning and organizing folders or junk mail.
- Integrating email-based notifications into devops or monitoring pipelines.
- Archiving and downloading attachments for data processing workflows.
How 163 Email Management Skill Works
- The skill initializes a secure TLS/SSL connection to 163.com IMAP or SMTP servers.
- It authenticates using a specific client authorization code and provides the necessary IMAP ID for server compatibility.
- Users execute commands like send, read, or search via the CLI or AI agent interface.
- The tool processes attachments, HTML formatting, and Chinese character encoding automatically.
- Operations result in immediate server-side updates, such as flagging messages as read or moving them to folders.
163 Email Management Skill Setup
First, ensure Python 3.6+ is installed on your environment. To use this with Openclaw Skills, you must generate a client authorization code from the 163 Mail web interface (Settings -> POP3/SMTP/IMAP).
Create the configuration file:
mkdir -p ~/.config/email-163-com/
touch ~/.config/email-163-com/config.json
Add your credentials to the file:
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "your_auth_code",
"imap_server": "imap.163.com",
"imap_port": 993,
"smtp_server": "smtp.163.com",
"smtp_port": 465
}
Set strict permissions for security:
chmod 600 ~/.config/email-163-com/config.json
