StrataMail VPS and Dedicated · AI connector

Put your business email to work in Claude.

Your inbox already holds the conversation, the invoice and the next step. Connect your StrataMail VPS or Dedicated mailbox to Claude to find the details, catch up faster and prepare replies using the email you actually received.

Business email hosting on your own VPS or dedicated server, with AI assistance for everyday mailbox work.

Search your own mailbox Read supported attachments Save reply drafts for review

Less searching. More useful work.

Ask for the result you need.

Give Claude a clear task instead of copying messages into a chat one by one. The connector lets it retrieve information from your connected mailbox during your conversation.

Turn a busy inbox into a useful briefing

Ask for a summary of today's vendor messages or a specific customer's conversation. Pull out requests, dates and unresolved questions so you can decide what needs attention.

Try: “Summarize today's messages in my Inbox. List the sender, requested action and any stated deadline.”

Locate the message behind the question

Search by sender, recipient, subject, words or date. Find the quote you discussed, the last delivery update or a message you flagged for follow-up.

Try: “Find last month's messages from our supplier in my Vendors folder and identify the latest delivery date they gave us.”

Bring invoice and document details into the conversation

Ask Claude to read text from supported PDF and CSV attachments and bring the relevant details together. Useful for checking invoice totals, comparing quotes or understanding an email attachment.

Try: “Find the invoice attached to the latest message in my Vendors folder. List its invoice number, total and due date.”

Start with a draft grounded in the conversation

Ask Claude to prepare a response after reading the relevant messages. When draft saving is enabled, it can place the reply in your Drafts folder. Review the wording, recipients and facts in webmail or your usual email app before sending.

Try: “Read the latest customer message and save a draft answering their questions. Flag any answer that needs information from me.”

You can also ask for a follow-up checklist in your Claude conversation. The connector does not create tasks in other business applications.

Your mailbox. Your working routine.

Keep using the email tools you know.

StrataMail VPS and Dedicated provide business email hosting. The AI connector adds another way to work with a mailbox through Claude. You continue reading and sending mail through your normal email apps.

  • Each person connects their own mailbox. A user's connection does not open other users' mailboxes.
  • Search across your mailbox folders. Claude can list folders and search the relevant folder for the information you request.
  • Reading preserves unread status. Messages retrieved through the connector are not automatically marked as read.
  • Review the source. Ask Claude which messages support its answer and check the original email when a detail matters.

Assistance with clear boundaries

The current connector can search and read email, read supported attachments and save drafts when draft saving is enabled.

It cannot send mail, delete or move messages, change mailbox settings or administer your email server. We can configure the server for search and reading only by disabling draft saving.

Administrators can revoke a mailbox's connector access when a user leaves or access needs to end.

Know where AI processing happens. Your mailbox is hosted on your StrataMail VPS or dedicated server. Content retrieved for Claude is sent to Anthropic for processing under your Claude account's terms and settings. Choose access that fits your organization's data policy.

Getting started

From your mailbox to a working conversation.

1. Enable the connector on your mail server

We confirm your VPS or Dedicated deployment, connector availability and setup requirements, including whether saving drafts should be enabled.

2. Connect your own mailbox in Claude

Add the connector using the connection details we provide and sign in with your own StrataMail mailbox. Your Claude account or organization must allow custom connectors.

3. Ask, check and act

Ask for a search, a summary or a reply draft. Check the underlying messages and use your usual email app to review and send any saved draft.

Choose the capability that fits the job.

Questions about connecting your email to AI

Can Claude send a reply for me?

The current connector can save a draft when draft saving is enabled on your server. It cannot send mail. You review and send the draft through webmail or your usual email app.

Does connecting one user give Claude access to everyone's email?

No. Each user signs in to their own mailbox. The connection can access that mailbox's folders and messages; it does not open other users' mailboxes.

Which attachments can it read?

The current connector extracts text from text files, CSV, HTML, calendar attachments, forwarded messages and PDFs with a readable text layer. Scanned PDFs, images and other formats may need separate processing. Large messages may need to be opened in your email app.

Can I use ChatGPT or another AI system?

The current connector is built for Claude. If you need another AI platform, ask us to check compatibility and scope the integration before choosing a service.

Does the AI connector include email continuity or automatic workflows?

The connector helps with your everyday hosted mailbox during a Claude conversation. Email Continuity provides outage protection as a separate service. Automatic rules, routing and integrations are scoped through Email Intelligence.

Is my email processed entirely on the VPS?

Your mailbox is hosted on StrataMail VPS or Dedicated. Email content retrieved by Claude is processed by Anthropic under your Claude account's terms and settings. If your data must stay away from cloud AI services, ask about a separately scoped private AI deployment.
