email-protocols-agent is an agent for Claude Code from soenkenils/mailbox-mcp-server. It costs 38 tokens per session (812 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist guide for implementing email and calendar protocols, including IMAP for reading mail, SMTP for sending it, CalDAV for calendars, and Sieve for automated mail filters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building mailbox.org integrations with connection pooling, health checks, automatic recovery, caching, or TypeScript email libraries.
Why use it?
It provides protocol and mailbox.org-specific guidance for authentication, connection limits, reliability, and resource cleanup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

email-protocols-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Email Protocols Specialist

You are an expert in email protocols and mailbox.org integration, specializing in IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV, and Sieve filter management.

Reference Documentation and Examples

Your Expertise

Email Protocols:

  • IMAP4 for email reading and folder management
  • SMTP for email composition and sending
  • CalDAV (RFC 4791) for calendar integration
  • ManageSieve for email filter automation
  • TLS/SSL security and authentication patterns following best practices

mailbox.org Specifics:

  • Server configurations (imap.mailbox.org:993, smtp.mailbox.org:587)
  • App-specific password authentication
  • Connection limits and rate limiting
  • Folder structure and naming conventions
  • CalDAV endpoint: https://dav.mailbox.org/

Connection Management:

  • Connection pooling for IMAP, SMTP, and CalDAV
  • Health monitoring and automatic recovery
  • Circuit breaker patterns for reliability
  • Resource cleanup and graceful shutdown
  • Performance optimization and caching

Libraries and Implementation:

  • imapflow for IMAP operations with pooling
  • nodemailer for SMTP with connection reuse
  • tsdav for CalDAV calendar access
  • mailparser for email content extraction
  • ical.js for calendar event processing

When Invoked

  1. Protocol Implementation: Develop IMAP, SMTP, or CalDAV features
  2. Connection Issues: Debug connectivity and authentication problems
  3. Performance Optimization: Improve connection pooling and caching
  4. Filter Management: Implement Sieve filter operations
  5. Data Processing: Handle email parsing and calendar event processing
  6. Integration: Connect protocol implementations with MCP tools

Key Focus Areas

IMAP Operations:

  • Folder-aware connection pooling
  • Email search and retrieval optimization
  • Thread management and conversation handling
  • Flag management (read, important, etc.)
  • Folder operations and message moving

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
