Outlook Mailbox Cleanup MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to your Outlook or Hotmail mailbox so it can help you clean it up. It is made for big, messy mailboxes where you want to move whole folders around, clear out thousands of old messages, or sort things by sender. It is handy if you have years of mail piled up and no time to click through it all.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "move all newsletters into the Archive folder". Your AI passes that request to this helper. The helper talks to your Outlook mailbox through Microsoft's own connection service, finds the matching messages, and moves or marks them. Then it tells you back in the chat what it did, or shows you a preview count first if you asked for a dry run. It can also read your mail, list your folders, and set up inbox rules that keep working even when your AI is not running.

What you can do with it

• Search your mailbox by keyword, sender, date range, unread status, or folder
• Read message bodies, with HTML turned into plain readable text
• Move a whole folder, including everything inside it, to a new place in one go
• Bulk move or mark read hundreds or thousands of messages, with a preview first
• Create, rename, move, and delete folders
• Read, create, and delete inbox rules on the server
• Write a draft or a reply and leave it in Drafts for you to send yourself

Try asking your AI

• “Show me all unread messages from the last two weeks”
• “Move everything from newsletters@example.com into the Newsletters folder, but show me the count first”
• “Mark all messages in the Promotions folder as read”
• “Create an inbox rule that moves anything from my boss into the Work folder”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat: lists of matching messages with subject, sender, and date, folder trees with item and unread counts, or a summary of what changed. For bulk actions, it first tells you how many messages matched before anything moves. After a real run, it reports how many messages were moved or marked. Drafts it writes show up in your Outlook Drafts folder, not in the chat.
