Connect iCloud Mail with an app-specific password

Why an app-specific password

Apple does not offer a "Sign in with Apple" option for other mail apps. Instead, Apple lets you create a separate password for one app. You can revoke it at any time without changing your Apple ID password.

Make the app-specific password

1. Sign in at appleid.apple.com.
2. Open Sign-In and Security, then App-Specific Passwords.
3. Create a password and name it something like "Inbox Triage".
4. Copy it. Apple shows it only once.

Connect the inbox

1. On Inboxes, add the inbox with your icloud.com, me.com, or mac.com address.
2. Choose Connect. A private form opens. Your AI never sees this page.
3. Check the Apple ID email, paste the App-specific password, and choose Connect.

We test the password against Apple's mail server (imap.mail.me.com) before we store anything. If the test fails, nothing is kept. If it works, the password is encrypted right away.

What your AI can do in iCloud

• Read, search, archive, trash, and mark as junk, with undo.
• Write drafts, and send them after you turn sending on and approve each one.

Removing access

Disconnect the inbox on Inboxes to delete the stored password. You can also revoke the password on Apple's App-Specific Passwords page.
