What Komorebi is

Komorebi is a small, fast, privacy-respecting email client for Windows 10 and 11. It speaks IMAP and SMTP, with presets for Purelymail and Postale.io and a guided manual setup for self-hosted mail servers.

There is no telemetry, no advertising and no AI. Passwords are stored in Windows Credential Manager, and remote content is blocked by default.

Komorebi is built with Rust and Slint and keeps a local SQLite cache. In its 0.2.0 beta notes it listed 55,720 cached messages in about 30 ms while using about 9 to 11 MB of private memory. The current version is 0.3.0 beta; it is unsigned and has no installer yet.
