Email (IMAP/SMTP)
Connects Claude to your email accounts over IMAP and SMTP with 22 tools for reading, sending, searching, and organizing messages. Supports multiple accounts simultaneously with connection pooling and rate limiting. Auto-detects settings for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Fastmail, and Zoho from the email domain, or you can configure custom mail servers manually. Handles OAuth2 device flow for Gmail and Outlook, or use app passwords. Built in Go with proper retry logic and TLS. If you need Claude to manage email across personal and work accounts without switching contexts, or you want the remote equivalent of local Mail.app access, this handles the protocol work so you can just ask Claude to find that receipt or follow up on a thread.
