Configure the HermesAgentMail email integration for yourself.
Add an MCP server to ~/.hermes/config.yaml under "mcp_servers" named
"hermes-agent-mail" with:
  url: https://www.hermesagentmail.com/api/mcp
  headers.Authorization: "Bearer ${HERMES_AGENT_MAIL_API_KEY}"
  enabled: true
Do not remove or overwrite any existing mcp_servers entries. Then make
sure HERMES_AGENT_MAIL_API_KEY=hm_live_... is set in my ~/.hermes/.env
(create it if missing). Finally, tell me to restart my Hermes session so
the email tools load.

Install the HermesAgentMail plugin into my Hermes agent.
1. Run: curl -fsSL https://www.hermesagentmail.com/hermes/install.sh | bash
   (this downloads the plugin into ~/.hermes/plugins/hermes-agent-mail)
2. Add HERMES_AGENT_MAIL_API_KEY=hm_live_... to ~/.hermes/.env
3. Run: hermes plugins enable hermes-agent-mail
4. Confirm the "agentmail" toolset loaded (hermes plugins list) and tell me
   to restart Hermes.

Check my HermesAgentMail inboxes, read the most recent email, and draft a
reply. Request the send — if it needs approval, tell me and I'll approve it
in the dashboard.
