The Telex app
What it stores on your PC
The messages it downloads (in full, so you can read and search them offline), your folders and your account settings. All of it is in one file: %APPDATA%\app.telexmail.desktop\telex.db. Passwords are kept apart from it, in Windows Credential Manager under “Telex”.
Who it talks to
The IMAP and SMTP servers you set up, over encrypted connections (SSL/TLS, or STARTTLS for SMTP on port 587). There is no Telex server: your mail never passes through us, and we never see it.
And, only when you choose to load a message’s remote images (once, or always for a sender you trust, never automatically in Spam), the servers those images come from. Telex downloads them itself, without cookies or a referrer, and refuses addresses on your local network; the window that shows the message never goes online. Links you click open in your default browser.
What it doesn’t do
- No usage statistics, crash reports or telemetry of any kind.
- No account to create, and no cloud service.
- No remote images until you choose to load them, so senders can’t use them to see when you read their mail.
- No update checks yet. When automatic updates arrive, this page will say exactly what they send, before they ship.
Removing your data
Removing an account in Telex deletes its local copies and its saved password; the mail on your server stays where it is. To remove everything, uninstall Telex and delete the telex.db file above.

This site sets no cookies and runs no ads, tracking pixels or third-party scripts, so there is no cookie banner to click away. Its fonts are served from this site, not from a font service.
Visitor statistics
To know which pages are read, the site uses Vercel Web Analytics. It counts page views, the page you came from, and your country, browser and device type. It sets no cookies, doesn’t follow you to other sites and doesn’t identify you; the script comes from this site itself. See how Vercel Web Analytics handles data.
Hosting
The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web server, Vercel processes your IP address and the details of each request to deliver the pages and keep the service secure. See Vercel’s privacy policy.
Theme
If you pick light or dark, the choice is saved in your browser’s local storage on your own device. It is never sent anywhere.
Downloads
The site looks up the newest release on GitHub from its own server; your browser doesn’t contact GitHub until you click a download link. The installers are served by GitHub, under GitHub’s privacy statement.
