This covers NousResearch/hermes-agent, not a Hermes model or a third-party hosting plan. Model and managed-service choices have separate costs and availability.
Set up
1
Choose the receiving account
For Gmail, choose the Nous connector or separate Google Workspace OAuth skill and check account, permissions and cost. These tools can act on mail, not only read it. Nous says its connector service retains content returned by Google tools for up to 14 days; this is not an all-Hermes retention rule. For other mailboxes, the separate Email gateway uses IMAP/SMTP, a dedicated inbox, sender allowlisting and authentication checks. It can reply to senders and filters some automated mail, so test an actual note before using it. Otherwise paste a note.
2
Inspect one source
Read one new Anyx email and show its group and covered period. A combined email can hold the group inside its body. Compare the brief with the note and inspect actual tool permissions.
3
Check a recurring job
After the test, request a recurring job and review its time zone, next run, skills/account and private output. Jobs start fresh sessions, so verify fresh retrieval there. An incoming-email gateway is not proof of later inbox-search access. Self-hosted agent jobs need your Hermes gateway running; check runtime readiness with your host if managed.
Try this request
Replace the brackets with details from a received note. Run it once before saving a recurring task.After the test, add a schedule
Save a recurring version only after the test works. Check the first unattended result.Options and limits
Choose the account explicitly
When several accounts exist, inspect which one the connector used. A connected account in one conversation is not proof that every scheduled job can read it.Questions

Will the job work with the host off?
A self-operated agent job needs its gateway and tools available. Check its first result; a saved schedule does not prove runtime readiness.
