Mailspring, alternative Linux à Windows Mail
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Mailspring is a strong replacement for Windows Mail if you value speed and privacy over built-in calendar integration. It handles multiple IMAP/POP3 accounts efficiently with a C++ engine that keeps resource usage low. However, it lacks native calendar features, so you must pair it with a separate iCal client. The interface is clean and non-intrusive, suitable for users who want a fast, local-first email experience without cloud dependencies. It is best for those willing to manage two apps for mail and calendar, rather than one unified suite.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Mail
Mailspring does not directly open Windows Mail .eml files as a native database format, but it can import them if converted to a standard format or if you drag and drop .eml files into the application. Since Windows Mail stores data in proprietary EDB files, direct folder migration is not supported. You will likely need to export messages from Windows Mail to .eml or .ics formats before importing them into Mailspring or another Linux client.
