How iCloud and Claude Code work together
Claude Code can use MailOS commands to retrieve inbox context from iCloud, draft useful replies, and ask for confirmation before sending.

FAQ
Questions before wiring email into an agent workflow
Can MailOS send iCloud Claude Code emails automatically?
MailOS supports send commands, but the recommended agent workflow uses draft, preview, dry-run, and confirm steps before final sending.
Does MailOS replace my email client?
No. It complements your existing inbox by giving terminal tools and AI agents a consistent command interface.
Can I use multiple accounts?
Yes. MailOS is designed around explicit account selection so work, personal, and project inboxes can stay separate.
