Mailspring als Linux-Alternative zu Windows Live Mail

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Mailspring can replace Windows Live Mail for users who need a modern, fast desktop client with unified inbox, snooze, and send‑later features. It supports IMAP/POP3, multiple accounts, and a local address book, but it lacks native RSS, Usenet, and calendar integration. It is best suited for people who mainly read and send email and are willing to use an external calendar or RSS reader.

Ihre Windows Live Mail-Dateien öffnen

Mailspring does not provide a built‑in importer for Windows Live Mail’s proprietary PST or MBOX files. Users must export emails from Windows Live Mail to a standard format such as MBOX or EML and then import them into Mailspring via the client’s import function or by placing the files in the appropriate mail directory.

Von Windows Live Mail zu Mailspring wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Export all Windows Live Mail accounts to MBOX or EML files using the built‑in export feature.
  2. Install Mailspring from Flathub or the official repository.
  3. Open Mailspring and add each email account using IMAP/POP3 credentials.
  4. Use the import function to load the exported MBOX/EML files into the corresponding account folders.
  5. Verify that contacts are present; if not, export the address book from Windows Live Mail and import it into Mailspring’s contacts.
  6. Configure any desired rules, templates, or snooze settings in Mailspring.
