Connect GMX or WEB.DE to your AI agents
Germany's most used free mail providers, supported by none of the assistants. Emailgents connects both over IMAP.
- @gmx.net, @gmx.de, @gmx.com, @gmx.at and @gmx.ch
- @web.de, which uses imap.web.de
- GMX ProMail and TopMail accounts
- host
- imap.gmx.net
- port
- 993 (TLS)
- auth
- app password
- create at
- www.gmx.net
GMX and WEB.DE together serve tens of millions of mailboxes and appear in no assistant's connector list.
Emailgents connects both over IMAP once you enable it in the provider's settings, and exposes them to every agent through the same connection as your other mailboxes.
How to connect GMX
Nothing is stored until the connection test passes.

Limits and prerequisites
- IMAP is disabled by default on GMX and WEB.DE free accounts; turn it on in the web settings first.

GMX questions
Do I need an application password?
Only if you have turned on two-factor authentication. Otherwise your normal password works once IMAP is enabled.
Is it safe to give an AI agent access to my GMX mail?
Emailgents only exposes read tools (search, open, thread, attachment) plus one flag tool for read/unread and starred. There is no send, reply, forward, move or delete, so a prompt hidden in an email cannot make your agent act on your behalf. Credentials are encrypted at rest, every agent call is written to your Activity page, and you can revoke a mailbox or a key in one click.
How do I revoke access?
Remove the mailbox in Emailgents, change your password, or delete the application password at the provider.
What exactly does Emailgents store from GMX?
A structured index of recent mail: sender, recipients, subject, date, folder, flags, thread references, attachment names and a short cleaned snippet. The default window is 90 days per mailbox and you can change it. Full bodies are fetched from GMX on demand and only cached, encrypted, if you turn body caching on for that mailbox.
Which agents can read my GMX inbox through Emailgents?
Any MCP client: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, VS Code and any other MCP client, or your own scripts over REST. You add one URL, https://emailgents.com/mcp, sign in once, and every mailbox you have connected appears to that agent.
