TabMail

Tabbed WinUI 3 email client for Windows with multi‑account POP3, inline images, attachments, and a modern, compact layout.

✨ Features

• Tabbed UI in the title bar (open messages in new tabs)
• Multi‑account support (switch quickly from the title bar)
• Inbox + reader split view, month grouping, quick search
• Inline images & attachments (view and save)
• Caching for faster header loads
• Reply (basic SMTP) – simple compose dialog

📦 Tech

• .NET 8, WinUI 3
• MailKit/MimeKit (POP3/SMTP)
• WebView2 for HTML emails

🚀 Getting started

1. Requirements: Visual Studio 2022, .NET 8, Windows App SDK / WinUI 3 workloads.
2. Clone:

   git clone https://github.com/Yuvi-GD/TabMail.git
   cd TabMail

3. Open the solution in Visual Studio and Build → Rebuild.
4. Run (F5) → Add your POP3 account (host, port, SSL, username, password).

POP3 is receive‑focused. SMTP settings can be customized if your provider uses different server/ports.
