QuickMail

A keyboard-first WPF desktop email client for Windows. Multi-account IMAP/SMTP with a unified inbox, conversation threading, and an HTML reading pane.

Features

• Multi-account — connect any number of IMAP/SMTP accounts simultaneously
• Unified inbox — all mail from all accounts in one sorted view
• Conversation view — threads grouped by subject with collapsible tree
• HTML rendering — WebView2 with strict CSP (no email-embedded scripts)
• Keyboard-first — full navigation, reply, forward, and delete.
• Secure credentials — passwords stored in Windows Credential Manager, never in plain text

Requirements

• Windows 10/11 x64
• .NET 8 SDK (to build from source)
• WebView2 Runtime (usually pre-installed on Windows 11)

Build & Run

build.bat          # build
build.bat run      # build + launch
build.bat publish  # self-contained win-x64 exe → publish/
build.bat clean

Or with the CLI:
