With Mailspring read and write your email from a desktop program for Windows, macOS or Linux. You can link multiple accounts and view their messages in a joint inbox. That saves switching between different webmail tabs if you use private and work mail next to each other.

You search messages about your linked accounts and create signatures with formatting and images. You can also adjust the view with theme features and layouts. The software uses a local synchronization engine; your mailbox remains linked to the provider where your account is located.

The base is free. For more extensive functions, such as unlimited use of certain planning and follow-up options, Mailspring offers a Pro subscription. So look at your own mail routine first: for reading, answering and searching you have different requirements than for following sales emails. In addition, reading confirmations are not proof that a recipient has read your message.

1.24.1

  • Mailspring tries the previous key for KWallet again when saved account data is otherwise not found.

  • On Windows, the dual title bar in separate windows and problems with the system tray icon have been fixed at deviating scale settings.

Our verdict

Mailspring is especially useful if switching between mailboxes takes time on a daily basis. The joint inbox and search function are concrete benefits, even without Pro. Review paid functions separately: tracking and follow-up memories are useful in some work processes, but not necessary for everyone. First, check that your mail provider is well connected and that your Mac meets the enhanced system requirement.
