Tuta Mail#

Interact with Tuta (Tutanota) encrypted email via the undocumented REST API at https://app.tuta.com/rest/. All content is E2E encrypted — the client handles crypto locally.

Prerequisites#

Python 3 with: requests, pycryptodome, bcrypt, argon2-cffi.

Install if missing:

bash

python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages requests pycryptodome bcrypt argon2-cffi

Credentials#

Store in openclaw.json under skills.entries.tuta-mail.env:

• TUTA_EMAIL — Tuta email address
• TUTA_PASSWORD — account password

Usage#

All commands via scripts/tuta_client.py (resolve path relative to this skill directory).

Login (always do first)#

bash

python3 scripts/tuta_client.py login \
  --email "$TUTA_EMAIL" --password "$TUTA_PASSWORD" \
  --session-file /tmp/tuta_session.json

Saves session (access token + decrypted keys) to the session file. Reuse until it expires.

List Inbox#

bash

python3 scripts/tuta_client.py inbox \
  --session-file /tmp/tuta_session.json --count 20

Returns JSON array with id, subject, sender, date, unread for each mail.

Read Email#

bash

python3 scripts/tuta_client.py read \
  --mail-id "listId/elementId" \
  --session-file /tmp/tuta_session.json

Use the id from inbox listing. Returns decrypted subject, sender, date, body.

Send Email (External Recipients)#

bash

python3 scripts/tuta_client.py send \
  --to "recipient@example.com" \
  --subject "Subject line" \
  --body "Email body text" \
  --sender-name "Display Name" \
  --session-file /tmp/tuta_session.json

Sends non-confidential email to external (non-Tuta) recipients. Creates draft then sends.

Workflow#

1. Login once per session → cache /tmp/tuta_session.json
2. If any command returns auth error (401/403), re-login
3. For inbox checks: login → inbox → optionally read specific mails
4. For sending: login → send

Limitations#

• Tuta-to-Tuta emails: Sending to other Tuta users requires public key exchange (not yet implemented). Reading Tuta-to-Tuta received mail works.
• Attachments: Not yet supported for sending.
• API versioning: The v header is set to 84; may need updating if Tuta changes their API version.
• Newer accounts: Argon2id key derivation is supported but less tested than bcrypt (legacy).
