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

SFR's settings

Table as of 14 November 2026.
Server Port Security
Incoming mail (IMAP) imap.sfr.fr 993 TLS 1.2 or 1.3
Outgoing mail (SMTP) smtp.sfr.fr 465 SSL/TLS
SMTP, other option smtp.sfr.fr 587 STARTTLS
  • Addresses covered: @sfr.fr, @neuf.fr, @cegetel.net and @9online.fr, according to SFR's page.
  • Username: your full email address.
  • Password: your SFR Mail account password.

SFR also lists POP (pop.sfr.fr, port 995). Prefer IMAP: messages stay on the server and several tools can read them.

Setup in four steps

  1. Add the mailbox in Fezola. Fezola has no SFR preset: in Sources, add a mailbox, choose Other (custom IMAP) and enter your address, the server imap.sfr.fr (port 993), the server smtp.sfr.fr (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 SFR mailbox?"

What you can ask

  • "Which unread emails did I get this week in my SFR mailbox?"
  • "Find my appointment confirmation email, in all my mailboxes."
  • "Draft a reply to my building manager's last email."

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

  • Connection refused: check that the username is the full address and that you use the right port (993 for IMAP).
  • Sending refused: try the other SMTP port SFR lists, 587 if you tried 465.

For other providers, see Orange, Free, OVH and the IMAP connector page. Several mailboxes? See search all your inboxes with Claude.
