How to give an AI agent its own email inbox

Problem

A lot of agent builders start by routing messages through a personal inbox, a shared catch-all, or a pile of aliases. That works for a demo, then breaks once you need clean state, safe retirement, or separate logs per agent.

Short workflow

1. Create one account on AnonyStack.
2. Create one identity for the agent you are testing.
3. Open the Mail app for that identity.
4. Use the new @anonystack.xyz mailbox as the address for inbound and outbound agent mail.

What to do inside AnonyStack

• Name the identity after the workflow, customer stream, or agent role.
• Enable Mail first, then turn on Notes, Tasks, Calendar, or Kanban only if that agent needs them.
• Keep drafts, replies, and follow-up artifacts inside the same identity so the full trail stays local.

Why this is better than aliases

Aliases still point back to one underlying inbox. A separate identity gives you an actual workspace boundary: mailbox state, notes, tasks, and activity all belong to the same agent.

Best practice

Use one identity per long-lived agent or per high-risk workflow. If you are only testing an experiment, create a throwaway identity and retire it once the run is done.
