Does Andock cost anything?

No. Andock is free and needs no card.

Which mailboxes work?

Any mailbox that offers IMAP on port 993 and SMTP on port 465: web hosts, internet providers, GMX, Yahoo, iCloud, IONOS and many more. Andock reads over IMAP and sends over SMTP. POP3 is not supported. Gmail and Microsoft 365 already have built-in Claude connectors.

Does it work with ChatGPT too?

Yes. The same Andock address works in ChatGPT on Plus and higher plans, and in Notion AI on Business and Enterprise plans.

Can Claude send mail without asking me?

No. Replies are saved as drafts in your Drafts folder first. Nothing is sent until you approve it in Andock.

Claude and IMAP/SMTP: connect any mailbox to Claude

Claude reaches Gmail and Microsoft 365 on its own. For any other mailbox, such as Yahoo, GMX, IONOS or mail at your web host, Andock connects it: enter your email address and password on andock.app, then add your Andock address in Claude under "Customize" › "Connectors". Andock is free.

Updated 12 November 2026 · Works with Claude

Claude's built-in connectors cover Gmail and Microsoft 365. Mail at a web host, an internet provider or services like GMX, Yahoo or iCloud stays out of reach. Andock connects that mailbox once, then Claude can search, summarise and draft replies in it.

Steps

Create a free account at andock.app.
Enter your email address and your mail password. Andock finds the mail servers for your address and checks the login right away.
If Andock can't find the servers, enter them yourself under "Enter the servers yourself". Your provider's help lists them where it explains how to set up a mail program.
Copy the Andock address from your dashboard.
In Claude, open "Customize" › "Connectors", click "+" and then "Add custom connector". Name it "Andock" and paste the Andock address as the URL.
Sign in with your Andock account and ask Claude: "What came in today that needs me?"

Common errors

The provider rejects the password.: Some providers want an app password instead of your normal password, for example iCloud, Yahoo and accounts with two-factor sign-in. Create one in your provider's account settings and enter it in Andock.
The login fails although the password is right.: Some providers switch mail program access off by default, for example GMX and WEB.DE. Turn on IMAP access in your mailbox settings and try again.
Andock can't find your mail servers.: Enter the IMAP and SMTP server names yourself. Andock needs IMAP on port 993 and SMTP on port 465, both with SSL/TLS.
Claude can't add a second custom connector.: Claude's free plan allows one custom connector. Remove the other one or use a paid Claude plan.
