Metre2 Mail - free

The new look, light and darkFREE

Metre2 Mail 1.2 has a calm new look. Light mode is blueprint paper with ink-blue lines; dark mode is deep navy with cyan. Folders are numbered, times and labels are set in a clear mono type, and every email is shown on its own sheet of clean white paper - sandboxed, with a caption that says what was blocked.

Metre2 Mail 1.2 in dark mode: numbered folders, a pinned email at the top of the inbox and a conversation on clean white paper

How it works

Step by step

Open Settings

Click the cog at the bottom of the left rail and open the Reading tab.

Choose the look

Look: Match Windows follows your Windows light or dark setting, or choose Light or Dark to keep one.

Read on paper

Whichever you choose, each email sits on clean white paper so it looks as the sender meant - with a mono caption under it: sandboxed, remote images blocked, links cleaned.

A scene when it's quiet

With no email open, a blueprint drawing of an envelope fills the reading pane with how many are unread. It's drawn once and then sits still, so it costs nothing while Mail is idle.

Help: Settings and the look has every option in detail.
