What PikuMail is

PikuMail is a free Windows desktop email client for managing multiple accounts in one application. It supports Gmail, iCloud, mail.com, and other IMAP services while keeping messages, contacts, and settings on the user’s computer instead of uploading them to PikuMail servers. The local database can use a master password or automatic on-disk encryption. PGP keys can encrypt and sign messages from the compose window. Composer tools include formatting, spell-checking, voice dictation, and AI writing help; the privacy policy says dictation and AI editing use an offline Whisper model on the device. Full-text search covers every folder, including server history. Notes can have alarms, and the calendar imports and exports ICS files. Large attachments can be sent through Dropbox links. Users can back up settings, contacts, folders, calendar, mail, and the encrypted database. The privacy policy says there is no telemetry, advertising, analytics, or account requirement.

Who it suits

PikuMail suits Windows users who want multiple IMAP accounts with local data storage and privacy controls. It also fits people needing calendar, notes, PGP, and offline writing assistance in the same desktop app.
