What QuickMail is

QuickMail is a free, open-source email program for Windows built around keyboard use and screen-reader accessibility. It connects with Gmail, Outlook.com, Microsoft 365, iCloud, and IMAP or POP3 accounts. A unified inbox can display messages as flat lists, conversation threads, or groups by sender or recipient. Mail tools include rules, quick and advanced search, offline reading, templates, spell checking, and rich text formatting. Its calendar handles appointments, Microsoft, Google, and iCloud calendars, reminders, and meeting invitation responses. An address book stores contacts and groups, with optional synchronization from online accounts. The app supports screen readers without custom scripts, and keyboard shortcuts can be changed in Settings. Downloads include an MSI installer, ARM builds, and portable executables for Windows 10 or 11 on x64 or ARM64. QuickMail says local data stays on the computer and no analytics or telemetry are collected. Remote message content is blocked by default, and credentials use Windows Credential Manager and OAuth 2.0.
