Metre2 Mail 1.2

5 November 2026

A new look in light and dark, Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online work accounts, importing your old mail from .pst, .ost, .mbox and .eml files, pins, on-device AI and three free rules.

Free for everyone

  • A new look: blueprint paper in light mode, deep navy in dark, with every email on clean white paper. Settings > Reading > Look: Match Windows, Light or Dark.
  • A new app icon and Start tiles to match.
  • Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online: work and school mailboxes - and Outlook.com - connect through Microsoft Graph, even where an organisation has switched IMAP off, with your Microsoft 365 categories.
  • Import from .pst and .ost files: pick the folders you want and they arrive in matching folders. Calendar items and contacts are left out and counted.
  • Import .mbox and .eml files too - one file, many, or a folder - with progress as it goes and duplicates skipped.
  • Pin to top: press P, or the pin on any row, to keep an email above everything else.
  • On-device AI: Summarise gives you the gist of a long conversation in a few bullets, worked out on your PC. Nothing leaves it.
  • Rules are free for up to three, and one is a right-click away: "Always move email from this sender to...".
  • Copy now takes up to 20,000 characters.
  • Metre2 Mail now needs a 64-bit PC (x64 or Arm) - almost every Windows PC from the last ten years.

In Mail Pro

  • Coloured categories: Urgent, Waiting, Invoice, Site or your own - press C, and see every email in a category in one click.
  • On-device AI that drafts a reply from a few words ("say yes, Monday works") and translates emails into English, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Polish.
  • As many rules as you like.
