Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/gwlsn/openclawprotonWhat This Skill Does
The protonmail skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to interact directly with your encrypted Proton account. By bridging Proton’s secure architecture with the himalaya CLI, this skill enables seamless reading, sending, organizing, and searching of your emails. It effectively turns your AI assistant into a productivity powerhouse, allowing you to manage correspondence, triage your inbox, or move messages between folders without ever leaving the terminal or switching contexts.
Installation
Installation is a two-phase process. First, ensure you have the Proton Bridge installed on your system. This utility is mandatory as it creates a local IMAP/SMTP gateway. Once installed and authenticated via the Bridge CLI, retrieve your generated Bridge password using the info command and store it securely using the OpenClaw /secret set PROTON_BRIDGE_PASSWORD command. Finally, initiate the skill configuration by running the provided setup script: python3 scripts/proton.py setup configure --email <your-email> --display-name "<your-name>". This creates the necessary configuration files and validates the secure connection to your mailbox.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for users who prioritize privacy but require the convenience of AI-assisted email management. Use it to quickly catch up on unread messages, draft and send quick replies while deep in a coding session, search for specific historical threads, or clean up your inbox by moving messages into custom folders or the trash. It is particularly effective for power users who manage multiple email aliases through a single domain.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, please read my latest unread emails and summarize if there's anything urgent from my bank."
- "Search my sent folder for the email I sent to Sarah last week regarding the project documentation and forward it to my work address."
- "Move the last three newsletters in my inbox to the 'Archive' folder and then show me what is left in my inbox."
Tips & Limitations
Note that this skill relies on the Proton Bridge, so ensure it is running as a background service before executing commands. Because the Bridge password is an application-specific credential, if you reset your Bridge data, you must update the secret in OpenClaw. Always ensure your system time is synchronized to avoid IMAP handshake errors.
