Can I scan my mail remotely via AI?

Yes. Use `request_scan` with the mail item ID to open and digitize a letter. Then use `get_mail_scan` to view the scanned document.

How do I forward mail to another address?

Use `forward_mail` with the mail item ID and a forwarding address ID from your saved addresses. Check `list_addresses` for available destinations.

Can I send physical letters from my agent?

Absolutely. Use `send_letter` with the recipient name, postal address, and letter content. The letter is printed and posted via Royal Mail.
