/install 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: "[email protected]"
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
setupcommand.
IMPORTANT: Reading Email Content
To read the FULL content/body of an email, you MUST follow these two steps:
- First run
envelope-listto get the message list (this gives you numeric IDs) - Then run
message-read \x3CID>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.

- Use
--pageand--page-sizeto navigate large inboxes.
- 确保已安装 OpenClaw(本地或 Docker 部署)
