Connect Naver Mail to Perplexity

Updated 1 November 2026

Yes — Perplexity can read, search and reply to your Naver Mail through Mailopoly. Connect Naver Mail to Mailopoly over IMAP, once IMAP is enabled in Naver Mail settings, add Mailopoly to Perplexity as a custom connector, sign in and ask. One connection covers Naver Mail and every other account you own. IMAP is off by default in Naver Mail and has to be switched on in the mail settings before any app can connect.

Before you start

A Mailopoly account — 7-day free trial, no credit card.
IMAP is off by default in Naver Mail and has to be switched on in the mail settings before any app can connect.
Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise — custom connectors aren't on the free plan. On Enterprise, an admin allows custom connectors first.

Connect Naver Mail to Perplexity in three steps

1 Connect Naver Mail to Mailopoly

Start a Mailopoly account at mailopoly.com/sign-up — 7-day free trial, no credit card.
In Naver Mail, open Mail settings and turn on IMAP/SMTP.
In Mailopoly choose Add email account, enter your full Naver address and your password. Mailopoly fills in the server settings for you.

2 Add Mailopoly to Perplexity

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

Add Mailopoly to Perplexity

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

In Perplexity, open Account settings → Connectors.
Choose + Custom connector at the top right, then Remote.
Name it Mailopoly and enter https://fastapi.prod.aws.mailopoly.com/mcp-server/ as the MCP Server URL. For Authentication choose OAuth 2.0 — there's no client ID or secret to fill in, Mailopoly registers Perplexity itself — and for Transport choose Streamable HTTP.
Tick the box confirming you understand the risks of custom connectors, choose Add, then click the Mailopoly card to sign in.
Sign in with your Mailopoly account, then choose what Perplexity is allowed to do. Reading, making changes and sending are separate permissions.
Back in Perplexity, ask.

Perplexity takes Mailopoly as a custom remote connector, so the only thing to paste is one address. Custom connectors are available on Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise; on Enterprise, an admin has to allow them for the organisation first.

3 Ask about your Naver Mail

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

What's new in my Naver Mail Cleanbox today?
Find the order confirmation in my Naver Mail and tell me when it arrives.
Reply to the last message from my Naver address.

Naver Mail 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	imap.naver.com
Port	993
Security	SSL/TLS
Username	Your full email address
Password	Your Naver password, or an app password if two-step verification is on

What Perplexity can do with Naver Mail through Mailopoly

Search Naver Mail — 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 Naver Mail 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 Naver Mail 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 Naver Mail 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 Perplexity at any time from Settings → Security in the Mailopoly app. More on the security page.

What goes wrong with Naver Mail, and the fix

IMAP is off until you enable it. A correct password still fails while IMAP/SMTP is switched off in Naver Mail settings.
With two-step verification on, Naver issues an application password — use that instead of your account password.
Use your full email address as the username, not just the part before the @.
No + Custom connector button in Perplexity: custom connectors need Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise. On Enterprise, ask your admin to allow custom connectors for the organisation.
The Mailopoly card says it isn't connected: adding the connector doesn't sign you in. Click the Mailopoly card in Account settings → Connectors and finish the Mailopoly sign-in.
Perplexity can't reach the server: check the address is exactly https://fastapi.prod.aws.mailopoly.com/mcp-server/, Authentication is OAuth 2.0 and Transport is Streamable HTTP, then remove the connector and add it again.
