Motivation

I'm a big fan of Windows Mail & Calendars due to its simplicity. Personally, I find it more intuitive for daily use cases compared to Outlook desktop and the new WebView2 powered Outlook version. Seeing Microsoft deprecating it dragged me into starting to work on Wino a couple of years ago. Wino's main motivation is to bring all the existing functionality from Mail & Calendars over time without changing the user experience that millions have loved since the Windows 8 days in Mail & Calendars

Features

  • API integration for Outlook and Gmail
  • IMAP/SMTP support for custom mail servers
  • Send, receive, mark as (read,important,spam etc), move mails.
  • Toast notifications with background sync.
  • Instant startup performance
  • Offline use / search.
  • Modern and responsive UI
  • Lots of personalization options
  • Dark / Light mode for mail reader

Beta Releases

Stable releases will always be distributed on Microsoft Store. However, beta releases will be distributed in GitHub Releases. Please keep in mind that beta releases might not be for daily use, only for testing purposes and recommended for experienced users or developers.

These releases are distributed as side-loaded packages. To install them, download the .msixbundle file in GitHub releases and follow the steps explained here.

Contributing

Check out the contribution guidelines before diving into the source code or opening an issue. There are multiple ways to contribute and all of them are explained in detail there.

Attention

Sources here does not belong to the Store version of Wino Mail. It belongs to beta release as of April 17 2024. I've been working on a big patch for couple months already and the code here includes those changes, but these changes are not yet released to Microsoft Store. Therefore, if you'd like to contribute, please validate the bug before in beta version and start working on it. I will delete this text from here once this big patch goes alive in the Store, so everything will be aligned then.
