Ews Email

EWS Email CLI

A CLI for enterprise Exchange (EWS) email. Use when the user asks about email, inbox, messages, or mail.

Setup

1. 环境变量

在 ~/.openclaw/config.yaml 中配置：

env:
  EWS_SERVER: "your-exchange-server.com"
  EWS_EMAIL: "you@company.com"

2. 存储密码

macOS（自动使用 Keychain，无需额外配置）

pip3 install keyring exchangelib
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/ews-email/scripts/ews-mail.py setup

Linux 云服务器（无桌面环境）

脚本会自动检测 Linux 无桌面环境，切换到 EncryptedKeyring 后端（AES 加密文件存储）。

# 安装依赖
pip3 install keyring exchangelib keyrings.alt

# 设置 master password 环境变量（用于加解密 EWS 密码）
# 在 ~/.openclaw/config.yaml 中添加：
#   env:
#     KEYRING_CRYPTFILE_PASSWORD: "你自己定义的一个强密码"
#
# 或在 systemd service / 启动脚本中 export：
export KEYRING_CRYPTFILE_PASSWORD="你自己定义的一个强密码"

# 存储 EWS 密码（会用 AES 加密写入本地文件）
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/ews-email/scripts/ews-mail.py setup

# 验证
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/ews-email/scripts/ews-mail.py folder-list

重启后只要 KEYRING_CRYPTFILE_PASSWORD 环境变量还在，密码就能正常解密读取，无需重新输入。

3. 验证安装

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/ews-email/scripts/ews-mail.py folder-list

SECURITY RULES

• NEVER attempt to read, display, or output the EWS password.
• NEVER run commands that could expose keyring contents.
• NEVER include passwords in any output, log, or message.
• The password is managed exclusively through the setup command.

IMPORTANT: Reading Email Content

To read the FULL content/body of an email, you MUST follow these two steps:

1. First run envelope-list to get the message list (this gives you numeric IDs)
2. Then run message-read <ID> to get the FULL email body/content

envelope-list only shows subject lines and metadata. It does NOT contain the email body. You MUST run message-read to get the actual email content. NEVER guess or summarize based on subject alone. NEVER say you cannot read email content — you CAN, by running message-read.

Tips

• Message IDs are numeric and come from the most recent envelope-list output.
• Always run envelope-list first before message-read, message-reply, etc.
• Long email bodies are truncated at 8000 chars.
• Use --page and --page-size to navigate large inboxes.
