WMail is a free, open-source Electron-based desktop client for Gmail and Google Inbox, supporting multiple accounts, desktop notifications, unread badges, and tray access. The project has been archived and succeeded by Wavebox.

Use cases

  • use gmail without opening a browser
  • manage multiple gmail accounts on desktop
  • get desktop notifications for new email
  • show unread email count in dock or taskbar
  • access gmail from the system tray
  • spellcheck email in my native language

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained client - the project is archived since 2020 and its successor is the commercial Wavebox app
  • you use email providers other than Gmail or Google Inbox
  • Google Inbox has been discontinued, so that integration no longer works
