# HEARTBEAT.md - Periodic Checks

## Check: Email (Lightweight)
- Log: Append timestamp to `~/.openclaw/workspace/logs/email_checks.log` before checking
- Run: ~/.local/bin/himalaya envelope list --page-size 20
- **Only report UNREAD emails** (flagged with `*` in FLAGS column)
- Read emails: completely ignore, do not mention at all in response
- No Ollama analysis (too slow for heartbeat)
- Remind user to manually process unread emails if count > 0
