Target Reference Server

Mcp4mail Overview

The mcp4mail MCP server connects AI clients to IMAP mailboxes for account, folder, message, attachment, and contact access. It uses OAuth 2.1 for MCP authorization, stores mailbox credentials encrypted, and can run as a hosted service or be self-hosted with Docker Compose. Mailboxes are read-only by default; separately enabled permissions control flags, moves, folders, drafts, trash, and sending. Reach for it when an agent needs controlled access to one or more IMAP accounts without giving it unrestricted mailbox write access.
