Use Meridian Mail help to get started with account connection, local mailbox caching, search, sync, and day-to-day Windows desktop workflows.
Meridian Mail is a Windows desktop email client built around IMAP and SMTP account connection, local mailbox caching, full-text search, modern compose, notifications, and inbox-aware AI help.
The most useful first steps are simple: connect a mailbox, let the first sync build local context, confirm that the inbox and folders are loading properly, and then use search, compose, and AI features from that real mailbox instead of treating them as separate tools.
Gmail and Google Workspace sign-in can use Google OAuth where your rollout supports it. Outlook and other known providers can be connected with provider settings plus password or app-password flows where needed.
Once connected, Meridian Mail syncs inboxes and folders into a local cache for faster reading and search. That local layer is what makes the rest of the Windows desktop workflow feel smoother.
