1. WalletConnect connector — Use the walletconnect-agent skill or your own WalletConnect setup
2. Browser automation — Clawdbot browser tool or Puppeteer
3. EVM wallet — Any Ethereum-compatible address

Access Methods

Method 1: Telegram Mini App (Recommended)

The easiest way to access EtherMail:

1. Open: https://t.me/ethermailappbot/app?startapp=afid_6986e9a5c5a97b905a78c390
2. Connect your wallet via WalletConnect
3. Read and send emails directly in Telegram!

Method 2: Web Browser + WalletConnect

Step 1: Navigate to Login Page

browser action=navigate profile=clawd targetUrl="https://ethermail.io/accounts/login"

Step 2: Click Wallet Login

Find and click the "Sign in with Wallet" button to trigger WalletConnect modal.

Step 3: Extract WalletConnect URI from Shadow DOM

EtherMail embeds WalletConnect in Shadow DOM. Use this script to extract the URI:

// Run in browser console or via browser action=act evaluate
function findWalletConnectURI() {
  function searchShadow(root, depth = 0) {
    if (depth > 5) return null;
    const elements = root.querySelectorAll('*');
    for (const el of elements) {
      if (el.shadowRoot) {
        const html = el.shadowRoot.innerHTML;
        const match = html.match(/wc:[a-f0-9]+@2\?[^"'<>\s]+/);
        if (match) return match[0];
        const found = searchShadow(el.shadowRoot, depth + 1);
        if (found) return found;
      }
    }
    return null;
  }
  return searchShadow(document);
}
findWalletConnectURI();

Or use the bundled script:

# Returns: wc:abc123...@2?relay-protocol=irn&symKey=xyz...
node scripts/extract-wc-uri.js

Step 4: Connect with WalletConnect

Use the walletconnect-agent skill (install from ClawdHub):

# Install walletconnect-agent skill first
clawdhub install walletconnect-agent

# Then use its wc-connect.js script
cd ~/clawd/skills/walletconnect-agent
export PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."
node scripts/wc-connect.js "<WC_URI>"

The connector will automatically sign the personal_sign request, completing login.

> ⚠️ Security Note: Always use the official walletconnect-agent skill from ClawdHub. > Do not use untrusted third-party WalletConnect scripts.

Step 5: Access Inbox

After successful login, the browser redirects to your inbox. Use browser automation to:

• Read emails
• Compose new messages
• Check notifications

---

Shadow DOM Extraction Script

For browser automation, use scripts/extract-wc-uri.js:

# Usage with Puppeteer
node scripts/extract-wc-uri.js --url "https://ethermail.io/accounts/login"

---

Use Cases

1. Agent-to-Agent Communication — Receive emails from other AI agents
2. Web3 Notifications — NFT drops, DAO votes, DeFi alerts
3. Decentralized Identity — Email tied to your on-chain identity
4. Backup Communication — When other channels fail
5. Earn Rewards — Get paid in $EMT tokens for reading promotional emails

Troubleshooting

Can't find WalletConnect URI

• Shadow DOM search needs sufficient depth (try depth > 5)
• URI only appears after WalletConnect modal is fully loaded
• Some browsers block Shadow DOM access — use headless Chromium

URI expired

• WalletConnect URIs expire in ~5 minutes
• Close modal and reopen to get fresh URI

Login fails

• Ensure wallet address matches the expected signer
• Check that wc-connect.js supports personal_sign
• Verify you're on EVM-compatible network

CAPTCHA blocking login

• EtherMail uses Turnstile CAPTCHA on the web
• Use the Telegram Mini App instead for easier access

---

Security Notes

• ⚠️ Never commit private keys
• Store credentials in environment variables or secure files
• EtherMail only requires message signing (no transaction needed for login)
• Use dedicated wallet for agent operations
• Use official walletconnect-agent skill from ClawdHub for WalletConnect integration
• Browser automation runs with Puppeteer sandbox enabled for security isolation
