Spell Check not Working

Spell check is not working as expected in new email or replying to existing emails.

To Reproduce…

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create new email
  2. Type something which is not spelled correctly

It should highlight the mis spelled words.

Setup

  • OS and Version: Windows 10
    • Installation Method: Installer
  • Mailspring Version: 1.10.3

Not working here either. Other posts are popping up too.

Spell check does not work for me. Mailspring works well otherwise but will soon give up on this app - not useful if spell checker does not function

Spellcheck is not working. I’ve tried all that is mentioned as a fix but it still does not work.

Isn’t this supposed to be something that paying the extra gives us?

I love this email client, but the bugs not getting fixed makes it hard to keep using. Spell Check is basic, Google contacts not syncing is also a major problem

How is it that this is not fixed yet? This is such a great email client with so many features, but this???

Far from ideal but here’s a temporary workaround (turn off rich text and advanced editor):

Thank you for the fix. I just can’t understand why with the newer versions of Mailspring this is yet to be fixed.

This was the number one reason why I tried Mailspring and dumped in less than a day. I was actually liking it but the lack of proper spell checking is just a deal breaker. Please fix it.

I started using Mailspring. Almost perfectly, then I discovered that the spell check doesn’t work :frowning: I see that the last post here is from February. Is it just a bug or does the spell check for other languages (mine is Polish) not exist?

Hi, this problem was already put on the table but I want to bring it here again cuz this issue is very annoying and I want to understand if there’s somebody still working on this project. I very hope so :face_holding_back_tears:
Thank you for the collaboration

It seems the developers are still working on things occasionally, but not very often, and they don’t usually pop-into the Community Forums here lately.

Regarding the spellcheck:
It is working on my systems (macOS and Linux). What system are you on? Do you have the spellcheck option enabled under your Preferences → General (tab) → Check Messages for Spelling ?

If you’re on Linux, make sure you have the spelling libraries installed for whichever language you’ve selected in the drop-down box.

Hi, I use Grammarly for spell check. But they don’t support mailspring. I have turned on the spell check on mail spring but it doesn’t detect anything. does anyone know any alternative software like Grammarly that supports mailspring? I have the spell check on and it’s set to default on mailspring.
can someone help, please?

Additional Context

I’ve just installed mailspring and it’s fantastic! But my spell check does not work?!

There are reports of this for over a year. Is this still a thing? Spell check has been broken for over a year?

It’s 2023, nobody knows how to spell anymore!!! I can’t use an email client that won’t check speling on busines emails. This is a massive deal breaker…

Spell check is no longer working since I updated to 1.10.1. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling. I also tried switching the spell check language from English-Canada to English-USA and it is still not working. It had been working before the update.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I have only just downloaded Mailspring, Spell check not working in Windows 11. When can I download a new Mailspring when it has a working spell check. It’s a great programme but spoilt by this feature.
