Best supported path today is: give it a separate Gmail / Google Workspace account, not your personal inbox.

What I’d recommend:

• Create a dedicated mailbox like [e-mail]
• Connect that account to OpenClaw via Gmail/gog
• If you want it to react to new mail automatically, set up Gmail Pub/Sub
• Start with read + draft, then add send once you trust the setup

Why this is the best route:

• it keeps blast radius small if something goes wrong
• Gmail is the email path OpenClaw has solid docs/tooling for
• it’s much cleaner than handing your bot full access to your main inbox

If this is for a company/shared setup, the better pattern is a delegate account with limited scopes, not direct access to everyone’s mailbox. The docs are pretty explicit about starting small and using least privilege.

Relevant docs:

• FAQ: https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/faq#should-my-bot-have-its-own-email-github-account-or-phone-number

• Delegate architecture: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/delegate-architecture
• Gmail Pub/Sub setup: https://docs.openclaw.ai/automation/cron-jobs#gmail-pubsub-integration

If you want, I can give you the exact setup steps for either:

1. a simple personal Gmail bot inbox, or
2. a proper Google Workspace delegate setup.
