Good questions
A few things you
might be wondering.
Does it work with my email account?
Volim Mail is built for Gmail and Google Workspace. It connects straight to Gmail, so your labels, categories, filters and aliases stay as they are. Outlook, iCloud Mail and other mail services aren’t supported.
What do I get for free?
A complete native Mac mail app for one account: layouts, Gmail labels and filters, search, snooze, shortcuts, tracker blocking, phishing warnings, offline mail and PDF attachments shown inline. Pro adds unlimited accounts, optional AI and the advanced tools.
Does Volim store my email on its servers?
No. Volim has no servers handling your mail. It goes directly between Google and your Mac. Mail kept on your Mac has its message text and attachments encrypted with a key in your macOS Keychain; headers, subjects, snippets and the search index stay readable on disk. Team features use your own iCloud.
Will AI read my mail without my say-so?
No. You control AI for each account, and it starts off. On-device AI runs on your Mac. A cloud AI service is used only on accounts where you turn it on, with your own provider account. Nothing in Pro requires AI.
Can I use my mail offline?
Yes. Turn on Mail on this Mac for an account and let the mail finish downloading. You can read, search and organize downloaded messages with no connection, and queued replies send when you’re back online. See the storage options
Can I keep a backup of my email?
Yes, with Pro. Mailbox Backup makes full and incremental .mbox archives on a daily or weekly schedule, with optional encryption, and can restore them into a Gmail account. Making a backup and restoring one both need a connection.
Can I edit PDF attachments?
Mail shows PDF attachments inline for free. The standalone Volim PDF app is coming soon and will be free to start, with Pro tools in Volim Office and Ultimate. Explore Volim PDF
Which Macs can run it?
The current download needs macOS 15 or later and a Mac with Apple silicon. Intel Macs aren’t supported. Apple Intelligence features need macOS 26.
Can I download it now?
Yes. Build 138 is an early-access download for Apple silicon Macs. It hasn’t been through Apple’s notarization check yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first launch. Here’s how to open it There’s no Mac App Store listing yet.
What’s the difference between Productivity and Ultimate?
