iCloud Mail runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 190 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 22 Sep 2026.
Read, search, draft, send and file iCloud Mail over IMAP and SMTP. No tool destroys mail.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check iCloud Mail every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

<ICLOUD_EMAIL> (Your iCloud address, for example [email protected]), <ICLOUD_APP_PASSWORD> (An app-specific password generated at account.apple.com. iCloud rejects your main password over IMAP).
The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
ICLOUD_DISPLAY_NAME (Name shown in the From header of sent mail. Defaults to the local part of the address).
