How can we help?

1. Use the mailbox password, not your hosting or control panel login.
2. Use the full email address as the username.
3. If the mailbox has two-factor sign-in, use an app password.
4. Reset the password where your host lists email accounts (cPanel: Email Accounts).
5. Check the server names against our provider guides.

1. Yahoo: Account Security, then Generate app password.
2. iCloud: account.apple.com, Sign-In and Security, then App-Specific Passwords.
3. Gmail: turn on 2-Step Verification, then visit myaccount.google.com/apppasswords.
4. Zoho: create an application-specific password, and turn IMAP on in Zoho Mail settings.
5. Paste it as shown. Spaces are ignored.

1. In Yandex Mail, open Settings, then Mail clients.
2. Enable IMAP access, plus app passwords and OAuth tokens.
3. At id.yandex.com, create an app password of type Mail.
4. Connect with your full address and that app password.

1. Open Inboxes in the dashboard and check that the mailbox is listed without an error. If it shows one, reconnect it.
2. Start a new chat after adding the connector. In Claude, check that MCPEmails is switched on under + and Connectors. In ChatGPT, type @ and pick MCPEmails, and @mention it again when a follow-up needs your mail.
3. Authorize the connector with the same MCPEmails account that holds the mailbox.
4. Your assistant only sees the tools your connector or API key is scoped for. If you left a scope unticked, remove the connector and add it again.
5. Ask the assistant to list your inboxes first. Mail is fetched when the assistant asks for it, so nothing arrives on its own.

1. See how many actions you have used under Usage in the dashboard.
2. Listing your inboxes and anything you do in the dashboard are never counted, and nothing is counted in your first 3 days after signup.
3. Retrying does not help. The allowance resets on the 1st of the next month (UTC), and paused automations resume on their own.
4. Personal, Pro and Business have unlimited email actions, subject to fair use.

1. Open Settings, then Billing & plan.
2. Choose Manage billing to cancel, change your card or get invoices.
3. Cancelling stops renewal. You keep your plan until the period ends.
4. Unexpected first charge? Write to us within 14 days for a full refund.

1. Mailbox: in Inboxes, click it and choose Disconnect. Its stored credential is removed.
2. Workspace: in Settings, under Workspace, choose Delete workspace.
3. Account: in Settings, under Danger zone, choose Delete account. This cannot be undone.
4. Each of these cancels the scheduled emails still waiting to send from the mailboxes removed. Deleting the account also asks Google to end our access to any Gmail inbox connected with Google sign-in, and we email you a confirmation.
5. Deleting the account cancels a paid plan at once. Unused time is not refunded automatically: within 14 days of a first charge, write to us. To use the time you paid for, cancel first and delete later.

Mail is fetched live for each request and not stored. The exception is scheduled or held sends, which are stored until they are sent. Apart from those, only your encrypted mailbox password or access token is kept.

1. In Overview, choose Connect inbox on the Get started card.
2. Copy the MCP server URL from the same card.

1. Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Zed, Raycast, Warp: paste the URL and authorize.

2. Choose All inboxes, or Specific inboxes and tick the ones it may use.
3. Name the connection, then choose Allow access.

1. Ask for what is new, for example: "Show my unread email from today."
2. Describe a message by sender, recipient, subject words, dates or attachments.
3. Ask your assistant to keep reading when a long email stops early.
4. Name a folder, such as Sent or Archive, to read mail there.
5. Ask it to mark messages as read. Reading alone never does.

1. On IMAP mailboxes, name your archive or sent folder. Only the Inbox is searched.
2. On Gmail and Outlook, name Trash to search it. Gmail also skips Spam.
3. On Gmail and Outlook, use whole words for the subject. Part words find nothing.
4. On Outlook, ask for words and filters like unread or dates in separate searches.
5. On IMAP mailboxes, the "has an attachment" filter is ignored.

3. Ask your assistant to change the text, subject or recipients, or to add files.
4. Ask it to send the draft when it is ready. Sending cannot be undone.
5. Ask it to list your drafts or delete one.

Hide the card for one mailbox in its details under Inboxes, or for the whole workspace in Settings, Draft editor card.

1. Edit the recipients, subject or text in the card, then save. Saving sends nothing.
2. Choose Send. Press Undo within a few seconds to keep the draft.

Gmail uses labels: a move adds the label and takes the message out of the Inbox.

1. Ask, for example: "Move this week's receipts to the Receipts folder."
2. Ask to archive, flag or unflag messages, or mark them read or unread.
3. Ask to move everything a search matches, up to 500 messages per request.

1. Ask to delete a message, a list of messages, or everything a search matches.
2. Up to 500 messages are deleted per request.
3. Ask for a permanent delete only when you mean it.
4. Gmail connected by signing in with Google supports Trash only.
5. Make sure your connector or API key has the delete permission.

1. Ask, for example: "Send this to Ola tomorrow at 09:00 Oslo time."
2. Ask "What emails are scheduled?" to see what is queued.
3. Ask to cancel one before it starts sending.
4. Give it the files directly. Files from other emails cannot be reused here.
5. If send approval is on, it waits under Approvals first.

1. In Inboxes, click the mailbox, then open Signature & sending.
2. Fill in Sender name and choose Save name.
3. Under Email signature, use Rich text or HTML source, then choose Save signature.
4. Under On replies & forwards, choose Always add, First reply only or Never add.

2. Open Signature & sending.
3. Choose Approve on mcpemails.com, with a card in the chat, or Approve on mcpemails.com only.

1. Go to Approvals.
2. Select Review & approve, then Approve & send.
3. Or select Reject, then Reject request. Nothing is sent.

Clients that support MCP prompts can also list these routines directly. Prompts never add permissions: your connection's scopes still control every action.

2. Select Copy prompt on a routine.
3. Paste it into your AI assistant and fill in any brackets.

Stop does not undo messages that were already changed.

1. Go to Workflows and scroll to Large-work controls.

2. Select Messages on a run to see each message and its outcome.

1. Go to Automations and read the reason shown on the row.
2. Fix it, for example reconnect the inbox or point it at a live API key.
3. Switch it back On in the Status column.

History covers a month on Free, 90 days on Personal and 2 years on Pro and Business. A Free workspace also sees how many of its 150 monthly email actions are used and when the count resets.

Each API key has a per-minute, hourly and daily limit, sized to your plan. Each workspace also has a per-minute ceiling: Free 60, Personal 120, Pro 300, Business 1,000.

When the allowance is used up, automations pause and you get an email naming the date they resume. Personal, Pro and Business have unlimited email actions, so these emails do not apply.

An incoming email never starts an assistant call on its own. Have your assistant check unread mail on a schedule, or let an automation sort it. On Pro and Business, a webhook under API keys can notify your own URL.
