Connect OVH to Grok

Updated 29 October 2026

Yes — Grok can read, search and reply to your OVH through Mailopoly. Connect OVH to Mailopoly over IMAP with your normal mailbox password, add Mailopoly to Grok as a custom connector, sign in and ask. One connection covers OVH and every other account you own. OVH mailboxes use the password set for that mailbox in your OVH control panel — there's no app password to generate.

This guide also covers OVHcloud and MX Plan mailboxes — the steps are the same.

Before you start

A Mailopoly account — 7-day free trial, no credit card.
OVH mailboxes use the password set for that mailbox in your OVH control panel — there's no app password to generate.
Grok at grok.com or in the Grok apps. On Grok Business or Enterprise, an admin adds the connector for the team first.

Connect OVH to Grok in three steps

1 Connect OVH to Mailopoly

Start a Mailopoly account at mailopoly.com/sign-up — 7-day free trial, no credit card.
In Mailopoly choose Add email account and enter your full OVH address.
Enter the mailbox password. Mailopoly fills in the server settings for you.

2 Add Mailopoly to Grok

This part is the same whatever you connected in step 1.

Add Mailopoly to Grok

These steps are taken from public documentation, and we haven't yet checked each one in Grok ourselves. If a label doesn't match what you see, Grok's own help page, linked below, has the current wording.

Go to grok.com/connectors.
Choose New Connector, then Custom, and enter https://fastapi.prod.aws.mailopoly.com/mcp-server/ as the MCP server URL. If it asks for a name, use Mailopoly.
Sign in with your Mailopoly account when prompted, then choose what Grok is allowed to do. Reading, making changes and sending are separate permissions.
Back in a chat, ask.

Grok takes Mailopoly as a custom connector, so the only thing to paste is one address. On Grok Business and Enterprise, an admin adds the connector for the team first in the xAI console. This is Grok's chat at grok.com and in the Grok apps; a Grok Bot has its own guide.

3 Ask about your OVH

Whatever you've connected to Mailopoly is what your assistant can reach. Some things people ask on day one:

What came into my OVH inbox from clients this week?
Find the hosting invoice in my OVH mail and tell me the amount.
Draft a reply to the last enquiry from my OVH address.

OVH server settings

Mailopoly fills these in for you when you enter your address. They're here in case you need to check them or your provider uses something unusual.

IMAP server	ssl0.ovh.net
Port	993
Security	SSL/TLS
Username	Your full email address
Password	Your OVH mailbox password

What Grok can do with OVH through Mailopoly

Search OVH — and every other account you own — in one question. By sender, date, topic, or the half-remembered phrase somewhere in the body.
Read your Cleanbox, not your whole inbox. Mailopoly sorts OVH as it arrives: personal and important mail in Cleanbox, promotions and newsletters in Other. Ask for either.
Summarise a thread, a day or a week. "What did the school send this week?" comes back as an answer, not a list of links.
Reply from your OVH address, in your voice. Save a draft to Mailopoly for review, or send — sending is a separate permission and a confirm-first action.
Schedule a send for later, and cancel it if you change your mind.
Pull out invoices, events and deliveries. Amounts and due dates, calendar invitations, parcel tracking — extracted on arrival and added to My Day.
Find an attachment. Every attachment from OVH lands in PolyBox, so "find the PDF the accountant sent" just works.
Unsubscribe, snooze, file and mark read from the chat, on whichever account the mail belongs to.

Reading, making changes and sending are separate permissions you grant when you connect, and you can revoke Grok at any time from Settings → Security in the Mailopoly app. More on the security page.

What goes wrong with OVH, and the fix

The server is ssl0.ovh.net, not a name based on your own domain. Mailopoly sets this for you.
Use your full email address as the username, not just the part before the @.
Exchange mailboxes on OVH are different from MX Plan ones. If the IMAP connection is refused, check which product the mailbox belongs to in your OVH control panel.
No Custom option under New Connector: on Grok Business and Enterprise, connectors are managed by an admin in the xAI console — ask them to add Mailopoly for the team.
