📱 Mailbird for Mobile: Android and iOS

Mailbird is now available for iPhone, iPad and Android, so you can manage your email at your desk or on the go.

📥 Download Mailbird

  • iPhone and iPad: Download from the App Store. Requires iOS/iPadOS 16 or later.

  • Android: Download from Google Play. Google Play will show whether your device is compatible.

📌 Choose the app published by Mailbird, Inc.

✨ What can I do with Mailbird on mobile?

Mailbird brings your email accounts together in an app designed for your phone or tablet. You can:

  • Manage multiple accounts: Use a unified inbox or view each account separately.

  • Read and send email: Compose messages, reply, forward, add attachments and use signatures.

  • Organise your inbox: Use customisable swipe actions to archive messages or move them to To Do and To Read.

  • Snooze messages: Put an email aside and bring it back when you’re ready.

  • Find messages: Search your mail and quickly view unread, starred or attachment-containing messages.

  • Undo sending: Use Undo Send during the available cancellation window.

  • Personalise the app: Choose light or dark mode, colour themes and different message-list layouts.

Mailbird supports Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365/Exchange, Yahoo, iCloud and other compatible IMAP accounts.

🚀 How do I get started?

  1. Install Mailbird using the appropriate download link above.

  2. Open the app and follow the prompts to add your email account.

  3. Sign in through your provider’s sign-in page, where offered, and approve the requested access.

  4. For accounts requiring manual setup, enter the incoming and outgoing server settings supplied by your email provider.

  5. Allow the initial synchronisation to finish, then add any other accounts you want to use.

Some providers require an app-specific password, especially when two-factor authentication is enabled. Your email provider can confirm whether you need one.

📌 Mailbird is an email app, not an email provider. You use your existing email address; installing Mailbird does not create a new mailbox.

🖥️ Does it work with Mailbird on my computer?

Yes. You can add the same email account to Mailbird on mobile and desktop.

Each app connects independently to your email provider—you don’t need to keep your computer switched on to use the mobile app.

For IMAP and Exchange accounts, messages and supported mailbox changes, such as read status, deletions and folder moves, normally synchronise through your provider. The exact behaviour depends on the account and its settings.

📌 This is not the same as copying your entire desktop Mailbird setup. Desktop settings, signatures, local-only messages and other app-specific data should not be assumed to transfer automatically.

🔎 Does mobile have every desktop feature?

Not yet. The mobile and desktop apps share core email functionality, but their feature sets are not identical.

For example, email-open tracking is not currently available on mobile. If you depend on a particular desktop feature, please check its mobile availability with our Customer Happiness Team.

🔑 Do I need a license key?

You do not currently need to enter a desktop license key to start using Mailbird on mobile. Install the app and add your email accounts.

Mobile Premium access is currently free through the end of 2026. Check the app and current offer information for any subsequent changes.

🤝 Need help?

If you have trouble installing Mailbird or connecting an account, contact our Customer Happiness Team. We’re always happy to help!

Please include your device model, operating-system version, email provider and any error message. Never send your password.
