Press & Reviews
Melia keeps a deliberately small promise: fast, private, honest email that stays on your machine. Here is what independent reviewers across the Linux press made of it, in their own words.
“[Melia] ticks a lot of other boxes for anyone looking for an alternative desktop email client on Linux.”
“Melia makes several claims and backs all of them up well. It is secure, transparent, easy on the eyes, and very simple to use.”
— Pulkit Chandak, It’s FOSS

“Melia wirkt aufgeräumt, zielgerichtet und bewusst auf das Wesentliche reduziert.”
“Melia feels tidy, purposeful, and deliberately pared back to the essentials.”
Brazil
“A interface é limpa, organizada e relativamente minimalista.”
“The interface is clean, organized, and relatively minimalist. It feels like using a native version of webmail, but integrated into the operating system.”
Italy
“I messaggi, le credenziali e i dati personali restano sotto il controllo dell’utente.”
“Messages, credentials, and personal data remain under the user’s control.”
A note we keep up front: more than one reviewer points out that Melia isn’t open source. We think that’s a fair point, and we’re honest about exactly what that trade-off means. See our licensing transparency →
