To read and draft your Hostinger mail in Claude or ChatGPT, connect the mailbox to Fezola with Hostinger's IMAP settings, then add Fezola to your assistant. The settings below come from Hostinger's official support page, read on 14 November 2026: Hostinger can change them, so check the page before relying on them.

Hostinger's settings

Table as of 14 November 2026.
Server Port Encryption
Incoming mail (IMAP) imap.hostinger.com 993 SSL
Outgoing mail (SMTP) smtp.hostinger.com 465 SSL
SMTP alternative if encryption causes issues smtp.hostinger.com 587 TLS or STARTTLS
  • Username: your complete email address, like name@domain.tld.
  • Password: your email account password. If you forgot it, Hostinger says it can be reset.

Hostinger also lists POP3 (pop.hostinger.com, port 995, SSL). Prefer IMAP.

Setup in four steps

  1. Add the mailbox in Fezola. In Sources, add a mailbox, choose Other and enter your address, the server imap.hostinger.com (port 993), the server smtp.hostinger.com (port 465, or 587) and the account password.
  2. Test the connection: Fezola checks receiving and sending. If sending fails on 465, try 587.
  3. Add Fezola to Claude with https://api.fezola.com/mcp: see how to add a custom connector to Claude. For ChatGPT, see how to add an MCP server to ChatGPT.
  4. Ask a question: "What needs an answer in my Hostinger mailbox?"

What you can ask

  • "Which unread emails did I get this week at my domain address?"
  • "Find the quote a supplier sent last month, in all my mailboxes."
  • "Draft a reply to the last customer email, from the mailbox that received it."

What the assistant does not do

Fezola saves replies as drafts in the mailbox that received the message, and you send them yourself. Direct sending is off until you switch it on, mailbox by mailbox.

Common errors

  • Sending refused: try the alternative SMTP port 587 that Hostinger lists, and check the username is the complete address.
  • Wrong server: keep imap.hostinger.com for receiving and smtp.hostinger.com for sending.

For other providers, see Orange, OVH, connect a custom domain email and the IMAP connector page. Several mailboxes? See search all your inboxes with Claude.

Questions and answers

What are Hostinger's IMAP settings?

According to Hostinger's official support page, read on 14 November 2026: incoming IMAP imap.hostinger.com, port 993, SSL; outgoing SMTP smtp.hostinger.com, port 465, SSL, or port 587 with TLS or STARTTLS if you have encryption issues; username: your complete email address; password: your email account password.

Should I use IMAP or POP3?

Use IMAP. Hostinger also lists POP3 at pop.hostinger.com on port 995, but IMAP keeps your mail on the server and lets several tools read it.

Can Claude or ChatGPT send mail from my Hostinger mailbox?

Not by default. Fezola saves drafts in your mailbox and you send them yourself; direct sending only exists if you switch it on, mailbox by mailbox.

Does it work in ChatGPT?

Yes, with the same connector, on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu plans, which allow custom connectors.

Is it free?

Fezola is free with 2 sources. Pro connects unlimited sources, with a 7-day free trial. Your Hostinger plan is separate.
