Download Mailspring 1.24.0

1.24.0 (9/12/2026)
Note: The Flatpak version of Mailspring now uses Portal for secret storage, and you may be prompted to re-authenticate accounts after upgrading.
Note: Mailspring now requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, because Chromium has dropped support for macOS 12. Windows and Linux system requirements are unchanged.
