Getting started: common questions

Can Claude or ChatGPT read my email?

Yes, once you connect your inboxes to Inbox Triage and add it to Claude or ChatGPT as a connector. Your AI can then read, search, and sort your mail. It sends an email only after you turn sending on and approve that email.

Which email providers work?

Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook.com, Hotmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud Mail, and any mail service that offers IMAP, such as Fastmail, Yahoo Mail, Zoho Mail, or your own domain.

Which AI apps work?

Any app that supports MCP connectors: Claude (desktop and claude.ai), Claude Code, ChatGPT with developer mode, and other MCP apps such as VS Code or Cursor. See Using it with your AI app.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 7 days with up to 3 inboxes, and no card needed.

Can my AI use more than one email account?

Yes. Pro covers 5 inboxes and can grow to 10. Your AI sees them together, with a tab for each inbox.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Inbox Triage runs on our servers. You add one web address, https://getinboxtriage.com/mcp, to your AI app and sign in.

Can't I just connect my AI to my email myself?

You can, and for a developer with one inbox it is a reasonable choice. You would need to handle app passwords or your own OAuth setup with Google or Microsoft, and keep that access safe. Inbox Triage handles sign-in, several inboxes, approval before sending, and undo for you. See the full answer.

Does it replace my email app?

No. Your mail stays in Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud, and you can keep using your usual app. Changes your AI makes show up there too.
