[Read the canonical HTML page](https://pearmcp.com/outlook-mail-mcp).

Pear MCP connects Outlook Mail to AI assistants through Microsoft OAuth and a
hosted remote MCP endpoint:

```

## Supported Outlook Mail actions

A configured client can use the Pear mail tools its current authentication,
permissions, and approval settings expose to:

- List Outlook mail folders and message metadata.
- Search for relevant messages.
- Read message bodies in bounded segments and continue from the returned offset.
- Send new outbound messages after approval.
- Move messages between folders.
- Mark messages read or unread.
- Move selected messages to trash.

Pear uses Microsoft OAuth and does not ask for or store the user's Microsoft
password. Mail writes require the applicable permission and active Pear write policy.

## Current mail boundary

This page does not claim threaded replies, sender-alias selection, saved Outlook
Drafts items, attachment sending, or Outlook mailbox-rule management. Pear can
send a new message; that is not the same as replying inside an existing thread.
Pear's separate mail workflow rules do not mutate Outlook mailbox rules.

## Setup summary

1. Create a Pear account.
2. Choose Microsoft 365 and complete Microsoft OAuth.
3. Follow the maintained Pear setup guide for the chosen AI client.
4. Connect the client to `https://pearmcp.com/api/mcp` using the authentication path documented in that guide.
5. Start with a read-only inbox query before approving mailbox changes.

A client guide documents a setup path; client plan, permissions, and provider
availability still determine which actions are available.

## Example prompts

- "List unread Outlook mail from this week that mentions the Atlas project."
- "Read the latest message from Morgan and summarize only what is present in the message body."
- "After I approve the recipients, subject, and body, send a new Outlook message confirming Friday's meeting."
- "Move these selected newsletters to Archive and mark them as read after I approve the changes."
