# Connect Verizon.net email to Claude and ChatGPT

[Connectors](https://lumman.co/mcp) / [Multi Mail](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail)

Multi Mail connects Verizon.net mailboxes to Claude and ChatGPT with an app password made at AOL, which keeps Verizon.net mail.

For verizon.net addresses, whose mail AOL keeps.

## The AI apps' own connectors

Multi Mail's other provider pages name what the AI apps' own connectors do for their providers: [Gmail](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail/gmail), [Outlook and Hotmail](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail/outlook), [Microsoft 365](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail/microsoft-365), [iCloud](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail/icloud), [Fastmail](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail/fastmail), [Inkbox](https://lumman.co/mcp/multi-mail/inkbox).

## Connect it

AOL makes an app password only in a browser you have signed in to AOL Mail with for several days in a row - never in a private window.

1. Verizon.net mail is kept at AOL: sign in to AOL's Account Security page at [login.aol.com](https://login.aol.com/myaccount/security) with your verizon.net address.
2. Choose Generate app password or Generate and manage app passwords, then Get Started, enter Lumman, choose Generate password and copy the one-time password. AOL shows it once - leave that page open until Lumman asks for it.

3. [Add to Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/multi-mail) - Opens claude.ai - press Connect there.
4. Sign in, add your Verizon.net mailbox and approve Claude in the window Claude opens - choose Another mailbox, type the address and paste the app password when it asks.
5. Ask Claude about your mail

- [Claude](https://lumman.co/mcp/claude) - From Claude's connectors directory
- [ChatGPT](https://lumman.co/mcp/chatgpt) - As a custom MCP server
- [Claude Code](https://lumman.co/mcp/claude-code) - As a plugin, in two commands
- [Cursor](https://lumman.co/mcp/cursor) - In ~/.cursor/mcp.json

## Reach and limits

- Search and read it together with every other mailbox you add.
- Draft, reply, forward and send from it.
- Archive, bin and file its mail, and clean up its inbox by sender, putting back what a clean-up moved.
- Multi Mail reaches no filters or vacation responder at AOL.
- AOL's default view shows a mail app only each folder's newest messages. Multi Mail reads that view, and says which folder holds more.

## If it refuses

- AOL refused this password. Use an app password, not the password you sign in to AOL Mail with - made in a browser signed in to AOL Mail for several days, never a private window - and check the address.
- We could not reach AOL's mail server. Try again.
