Connect Namecheap Private Email to Muse in three steps

1 Connect Namecheap Private Email 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 address.
Enter the mailbox password. Mailopoly fills in the server settings for you.

2 Add Mailopoly to Muse

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

Add Mailopoly to Muse

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

Open a chat in Muse — on the web or in the app — and ask it to create a custom connector for a remote MCP server called Mailopoly at `https://fastapi.prod.aws.mailopoly.com/mcp-server/`. Muse walks you through the rest.
Sign in with your Mailopoly account when prompted, then choose what Muse is allowed to do. Reading, making changes and sending are separate permissions.
Back in a chat, ask.

Mailopoly isn't in Muse's connector list, so Muse takes it as a custom connector — the same connection, added with one sentence instead of a tap. Muse connects from Meta's cloud, so there's nothing to install.

3 Ask about your Private Email

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

What's in my business inbox that needs a reply today?
Find the client's signed contract in my mail and save it to PolyBox.
Reply to the last enquiry from my business address.

What Muse can do with Namecheap Private Email through Mailopoly

Search Namecheap Private Email — 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 Private Email 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 Private Email 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 Private Email 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 Muse at any time from Settings → Security in the Mailopoly app. More on the security page.

What goes wrong with Namecheap Private Email, and the fix

The server is mail.privateemail.com, not mail.yourdomain.com, even though your address is on your own domain.
Use your full email address as the username, not just the part before the @.
Your Namecheap account password is not the mailbox password. Mailbox passwords are set per mailbox in the Private Email dashboard.
Muse doesn't offer to create the connector: say exactly what you want — a custom connector for a remote MCP server called Mailopoly at the address above — and that it signs in with OAuth.
Mailopoly isn't in Muse's connector list: add it as a custom connector instead. It's the same connection to your Mailopoly account.
