Why JMAP

One protocol. Mail, calendar and contacts.

IMAP is decades old — a relic dressed up in extensions. JMAP was designed from scratch for modern sync: fast, efficient, and built to handle mail, calendar and contacts as one coherent whole.

QxMail speaks it natively, so every sync is a single round trip instead of a joust with a dozen legacy commands.

Single sync engine

Mail, calendar and contacts sync through one protocol instead of three bolted-together standards.

Efficient by design

Delta sync and push mean QxMail talks to the server only when something actually changes.

No legacy cruft

No IMAP folder quirks, no MIME archaeology — just a clean, modern foundation.

Features

Built for speed. Built for MailBear.

Rust-fast

A native Rust core keeps QxMail instant to open, search and scroll — even with years of mail.

Offline-first

Full read, search and compose offline. Changes sync the moment you reconnect.

Built for MailBear

No generic email app pretending to support MailBear — QxMail is built around it from the ground up.

Shared mailboxes

Support for MailBear shared mailboxes, gated on server capability — empty until the server enables it, never broken.

MCP native

Connects directly to your desktop AI agents via MCP — no plugins, no middleware.

No legacy cruft

No decades of IMAP baggage. Just the features you actually use, done well.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is QxMail really free?

Yes. Windows, macOS and Linux builds are free, no catch.

Does it work with Gmail / generic IMAP?

No. QxMail is MailBear-only: reading over JMAP, sending via the MailBear REST API.

Can I send attachments?

Not yet. The MailBear send API v1 has no attachment field, so sends with attachments fail with an explicit error instead of silently dropping files.

Calendar write support?

Calendar is read-only for now. Event creation and RSVP are blocked on server-side write support.
