Works with Muse, Claude and ChatGPT
Yahoo Mail, for your agent
Your agent searches and reads your Yahoo Mail, attachments included, and drafts, replies and sends once you turn writing on. Yahoo makes a separate app password for this, so your own password stays yours.
Free for up to 3 connectors. No card needed.
Tools
What your agent can do
Each is a tool your agent calls by name. Read tools are on from the start; write tools wait for your switch.
Mail tools
- read
mail.searchSearch mail. Search one folder by sender, recipient, subject, text, date or flags, newest first, without bodies; while code and link hiding is on, terms with digits or URL punctuation miss very recent mail.
- read
mail.readRead a message. Read one message as headers, plain body text and attachment details, with one-time codes and reset links removed.
- read
mail.read_attachmentRead an attachment. Read one attachment of a message: the text of a PDF, Office or text file, or a picture as an image, with one-time codes and reset links removed.
- read
mail.list_foldersList folders. List the folders of the mailbox with their role, message count and unread count.
- write
mail.draftSave a draft. Save a draft in the Drafts folder for a person to review, without sending anything.
- write
mail.replyReply to a message. Send a reply to a message now, in the same thread, to its sender or to everyone on it.
- write
mail.sendSend a message. Send a new plain text message from the mailbox now, within its daily send limit and recipient rules.
- write
mail.move_flagMove or flag messages. Move up to 50 messages to another folder, or mark them read, unread, flagged or unflagged, with at least one change given.
- write
mail.archiveArchive messages. Move up to 50 messages out of their folder into the Archive of this mailbox, or into All Mail on Gmail; nothing is erased.
- write
mail.deleteDelete messages. Move up to 50 messages to the Trash folder of this mailbox, from which a person can restore them; nothing is erased.
Set it up
Three steps, about five minutes
Make an app password at Yahoo
On Yahoo’s Account Security (opens in a new tab) page, choose Generate app password and name it
muse.space. Sixteen letters. The spaces Yahoo shows are not part of it.Add it to muse.space
Create an account and you land on the Yahoo Mail form. Paste the password there with your Yahoo Mail address, and we check it with Yahoo before anything is saved.

- Claude CodeOne command adds muse.space to Claude Code. Sign in once, and it can search your iCloud Mail, check your calendar and find contacts, without the password.
Questions
Fair things to ask first
- Is this allowed by Yahoo?
- Yes. App passwords are Yahoo’s own way for other mail apps to sign in, and you can delete ours in your Yahoo account whenever you like.
- Does it work with Yahoo Calendar?
- Not yet. We know where Yahoo keeps calendars, and will offer them once we have tried them properly.
- Do you keep my mail?
- No. A message passes through our servers in memory for the length of the call, and is never saved or logged. The one thing kept is a short notice that new mail arrived, until your agent has it: the security page lists exactly what it holds.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing for up to 3 connectors, and a password counts once, however many connectors it opens. Personal, for everything more, is $5 a month or $48 a year. It is not on sale yet, and until it is we give it with codes.
