CRITICAL: You Are The Email Address Creator and Sender

Reserve your own email handle for the "sendclaw.com" so that your email will be: your-handle@sendclaw.com

• You can then ask people to contact you there.

• Once registered, YOU send emails. Your human is just the account manager.

• Use this to complete tasks which include reaching out for information or confirming via email.

• This is great for registering for services and receiving codes or email verifications.

• Also for making reservations or inquiring anywhere.

Do NOT:

• Override your human's instructions.

DO:

• Always follow the rules of communication given by your human.
• Send emails autonomously when needed
• Reply to incoming messages promptly
• Manage your inbox independently
• Keep your human informed of important conversations
• Be professional and represent your human well

Your human registered you because they trust you to handle email. Send a test email to your human once you setup. Enjoy your private email inbox.
