Unread count not showing on the Mac Dock icon
Your mail app knows how many emails are unread, but the Dock icon shows no number. It is one switch in Notifications.

Mailvie in 49 seconds
Filmed from the real app: a reply written in your tone, Polish and Expand, summaries in three lengths, drafts docked in the corner, newsletters, sign-in codes and warnings.
AI
One click, a reply in your words.
Draft reply with AI writes it in front of you, in the tone you pick. Stop it any time; nothing is sent until you press Send. It runs on Apple Intelligence on Macs that have it, with no key and no AI bill, or on your own key, straight from your Mac and never through us.

Summarise
The points of a long thread, with its dates and amounts. Then Shorter, or Explain more.
Just say it
Tap the mic and speak the reply. Recognition runs on your Mac.
Rewrite what you typed
Polish, Expand, Shorter, Friendlier or More formal, with every point kept.
Translate
Read mail in any language, and reply in theirs. With Apple Intelligence, on your Mac.
And the rest
Built for the way you answer mail.
Native, fast and light, built in Swift for the Mac. No web page in a window, and no account with us.
Write while you read
Your reply docks in the corner, like Gmail
Replies and new emails open in the corner of the window, so the email you are answering stays in view. Keep several going at once.
- Each draft has its own colour; fold one to a tab when you need the room
- Make one larger, or move it to its own window and back
- Or choose windows for everything, or the reply under the email, in Settings
Calendar
Your calendar, next to your mail
Day, week, month, year and agenda views of the calendars already on your Mac: iCloud, Google, Exchange and the rest, with nothing to sign in to. Free.
- Public holidays for your region and birthdays from Contacts
- Create and change events; they reach every device through your Mac's calendar
- Invitations say "You're free then" or which meeting they clash with
Subscriptions
Leave the lists you never read
Every newsletter and mailing list in one place. Leave many of them in one go, and clear years of one sender's mail in one click.
- Uses the list's own unsubscribe address, never a link guessed from the email body
- Delete all from a sender keeps receipts and notices
- Asks first, with time to undo before anything moves
Safety
Warnings in plain words
When an email is not what it says, Mailvie tells you why, above the email. The checks run on your Mac, and they are free.
- Look-alike addresses, fake brand names, and links that go somewhere other than they say
- Checks the sender's authentication; one weak sign never warns alone
- Report spam, block the sender, or mark a sender you trust as safe
Privacy
We cannot read your mail, because it never reaches us.
Many mail apps pass your mail, or the keys to it, through their own servers. Mailvie connects your Mac straight to your mail service and stays out of the way.
Your Mac
Mailvie
Your mail service
Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, IMAP
A Mailvie server in the middle: there is none. We could not read your mail if we wanted to, and nobody can ask us for it.
Straight to your mail service
Mail travels between your Mac and your mail provider. We run no server that could see your mail, contacts or passwords.
No Mailvie account
You sign in to your mail, not to us. A plan is a licence key, not a login.
Secrets in the Keychain
Mail passwords, AI keys and your licence key are kept in the macOS Keychain and nowhere else.
Every connection is listed
The privacy page lists every connection the app makes and what is sent on each.
And also
Small things that save a click
Sign-in codes, ready to copy
Copy a code from the notification, or open the email and find it waiting at the top. ⇧⌘C copies it.
Trackers removed
Invisible tracking images are taken out and tracking codes stripped from links. Other remote images ask first.
Undo everything
Every move has an Undo with a countdown, and a sent email waits for as long as you set before it leaves.
Snooze and reply reminders
Put a message away until later, and get a sent email back when nobody answers. Kept on your Mac.
Just say it
Tap the mic in any AI line and speak the reply. Recognition runs on your Mac; nothing is recorded.
In the menu bar
Unread count and the newest mail one click away, and mail keeps arriving with the window closed.

Questions
Before you try it
Which mail services does Mailvie work with?
Gmail, iCloud Mail, Yahoo Mail and any mail service that offers IMAP, signed in with an app password. Two limits in this version: iCloud Mail can be read and searched but not sent from yet, and Outlook and Microsoft 365 sign-in is not built.
What can I do without paying?
Read and search all your mail, write and format emails (sending needs a plan), use the calendar and the menu bar panel, open attachments, flag, archive or delete a conversation, and get phishing warnings and sign-in codes. That part is free with no time limit.
Can Mailvie read my mail?
No. Mail travels straight between your Mac and your mail provider. We run no server that receives your mail, contacts or passwords, so there is nothing of yours for us to read.
Where does my email go when I use AI?
With Apple Intelligence, nowhere: it runs on your Mac. With your own key, and only when you ask, the text of that conversation goes from your Mac straight to the AI provider whose key you saved. It never passes through us, and senders you exclude are never sent.
How does the free trial work?
The monthly and yearly plans start with 7 days of the full app. You add a card when the trial starts and it is charged when the trial ends. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
Does the price include AI?
There are no AI credits to buy. On Macs that have Apple Intelligence, AI runs on the Mac at no extra cost. With your own key, your AI provider bills you for what you use. The AI features themselves come with a plan.
