  • libedataserverui1.2-dev

  • libgee-0.8-dev
  • libglib2.0-dev

Run meson build to configure the build environment and then change to the build directory and run ninja to build

meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja

To install, use ninja install, then execute with io.elementary.mail

You might want to set the WEBKIT_EXTENSION_PATH environment variable to the webkit-extension build folder in order to test the application without installing it

Connecting Your Account

Mail uses Evolution Data Server and Camel to display your emails. Currently, the easiset way to test Mail with your accounts is to set up them up in Evolution first. Ultimately, setting up an account in Online Accounts will connect it to EDS/Camel but that has not yet been implemented.
