Cross-Mailbox Search: RFC, CLI and API Guide
Compare RFC 7377, Zimbra, Microsoft Purview, and mailbox API patterns for safe, auditable searches across authorised inboxes.


Sendmux is email inbox API for AI agents - multi-provider SMTP routing, dedicated agent mailboxes, and token-saving structured parsing in one API. The Sendmux blog covers AI agents, email deliverability, and the infrastructure powering agentic communication.
Compare RFC 7377, Zimbra, Microsoft Purview, and mailbox API patterns for safe, auditable searches across authorised inboxes.

Build a reliable mailbox integration with scoped access, efficient retrieval, state-token sync, signed events, and retry-safe writes.

Separate byte reduction, HTML sanitisation, email-client rendering, and inbound thread cleanup with a seven-step developer workflow.

Trace one message, read status and provider context, then widen the query only when the evidence points to a larger issue.

Fix Gmail OAuth sending failures by separating consent, token, scope, payload, and quota errors across the Gmail API and SMTP XOAUTH2.

Configure a return path domain, verify SPF and DMARC alignment, inspect message headers, and monitor bounce handling with current Sendmux DNS records.

Send email via API with a valid request, scoped key, uploaded attachments, idempotent retries, delivery events, and current Sendmux examples.

Google Workspace can create users through an API. SendGrid can receive email. Both facts are true. Neither one settles the infrastructure decision for an agent fleet. Email for AI agents becomes an infrastructure problem when email is part of a long-running software workflow. The useful question is

Choose between SMTP ports 587 and 2525, match the correct TLS mode, and diagnose blocked connections without weakening authentication or certificate checks.

Queue email before sending, enforce the right counters, and handle HTTP or SMTP pressure without delaying urgent messages or creating duplicates.
