Years of mail, still instant

conversations in one unified inbox, yet only the few dozen on screen are ever drawn. Big archives stay smooth to scroll.

Every mistake, one key from undone

Archive, trash, move, star or mark as spam, then take it back with Z — even if another client changed the mailbox in between.

Dark and light, with equal care

Quiet surfaces, readable type and subtle emphasis in both themes — or let Inlark follow your desktop. Rich HTML mail keeps the look its sender designed.

I took another look at the explorations this morning. The quieter direction feels right — it gets out of the way and lets the work breathe.

A few thoughts on the new direction

Dependable by design

Nothing you write gets lost.

Drafts that outlast anything
Every draft is saved on your device as you write, then synced to your server. Quitting, crashing or losing the connection won’t take your words with it.
Sending you can trust
Each message says exactly where it stands. If the connection drops mid-send, Inlark marks it unconfirmed and never sends it again on its own.
Partial delivery, handled
When a server refuses some recipients, you see exactly who, with a new draft ready for just them.
Honest about your server
If a server can’t move or delete a message safely, Inlark turns that action off and tells you why, instead of guessing.

Two-minute setup

Type your address. Inlark finds the rest.

Inlark reads the settings your domain publishes — JMAP first, then IMAP and SMTP — and shows exactly what it found before it asks for a password.

  • Checked before it’s saved. Incoming and outgoing servers are signed in to separately, and the account is only saved when both work.
  • Your password stays put. Discovery never carries credentials, and saved logins live in your desktop keyring.
JMAPIMAPSMTPTLSSTARTTLSSelf-hosted

Private by default

Between you and your server. No one else.

No account, no middleman

There’s nothing to sign up for. Inlark talks to your JMAP or IMAP and SMTP server directly.

No telemetry

No analytics, no tracking, no usage reports. What happens in your inbox stays on your machine.

Encryption, verified

Implicit TLS or required STARTTLS, always with certificate checks and never a plaintext fallback.

Keys in your keyring

Remembered passwords go to your desktop’s Secret Service keyring, or stay for this session only.

Good morning,
inbox.

Calm, fast, dependable email for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Free and open source, from the first line to the last.
