The ZeptoMail alternative for AI agents
ZeptoMail is Zoho's cheap, transactional-only sending service, so an AI agent built on it can email out but has no inbox to read a login code or a reply. To give it one you bolt on a Zoho Mail mailbox over IMAP: two providers, MIME parsing, a poll loop. MailKite (which we build) is one provider that receives inbound as parsed JSON and sends the reply, for developers wiring an agent to its own address.
