Mail for your own domain stays on your own server with mailez, a self-hosted stack that delivers over SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 and adds a webmail, calendar, contacts, file storage, and an admin console, all started with a single command. Readers get a draggable three-pane webmail that updates itself over a push channel, merges replies into conversations, folds quoted history, and searches with from:, to:, has:attachment, and date terms. Keyboard shortcuts, a command palette, snooze, scheduled send, undo for bulk moves, and quick reply keep daily mail fast, and the interface installs as an offline-capable app with light and dark themes. Privacy-minded users add PGP signing and encryption, two-factor login, and remote-image blocking, and write server-side rules in a Sieve editor. Calendar, contacts, and Drive sit beside mail, with ICS subscriptions, vCard import, CardDAV and CalDAV sync, and share links. Phones and desktop clients configure themselves through autoconfig. Administrators manage domains, mailboxes, aliases, relays, and external mailbox fetching in one console, generate DKIM keys with a click, and follow a DNS wizard and a health page that verify MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM, blocklists, and MTA-STS. Audit logs and role-based access keep shared servers accountable. The free community edition runs on a single node, while archiving, DLP, LDAP, ActiveSync, and AI features belong to the paid enterprise edition. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Stalwart replaces the traditional Postfix + Dovecot + SpamAssassin + calendar-server stack with one Rust binary that speaks every standard mail and collaboration protocol natively. JMAP, IMAP4rev2, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV, and WebDAV all run inside the same process — no glue scripts, no sidecar daemons, no version conflicts between components. The pluggable storage architecture lets operators choose RocksDB for single-node deployments, FoundationDB for distributed clusters, PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, or SQLite for the data store, S3/MinIO/Azure Blob for message blobs, and Elasticsearch or Meilisearch for full-text search, with Redis or the internal engine backing rate limiters and session state. Security features include S/MIME and OpenPGP encryption at rest, automated DKIM key generation with DNS publication, DANE and MTA-STS transport security, automatic ACME TLS provisioning, granular ACLs, rate limiting, and IP banning. The browser-based admin console manages accounts, domains, groups, mailing lists, SMTP queues, DMARC/TLS-RPT/ARF reports, and every configuration object without touching a config file, while the self-service portal at /account gives end users password reset and encryption key management. Multi-tenant support with per-tenant quotas enables hosting-platform deployments, and coordinator-less clustering via Zenoh or NATS scales horizontally by adding nodes. Deploy via Docker or the standalone binary. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3 licensed.

SnappyMail is a fast, privacy-respecting webmail client that connects to any existing IMAP and SMTP server, booting in under a second with a JavaScript payload of just 138 KB under Brotli compression (down from RainLoop's 8 MB fork origin). No database is required: all configuration and user data persists as flat files in a single volume, making Docker deployment trivially simple with the roughly 30 MB image consuming approximately 50 MB of RAM. Built-in PGP encryption supports three backends: OpenPGP.js v5 with ECDSA and EDDSA key generation, GnuPG integration, and Mailvelope browser extension compatibility, eliminating the need for separate encryption plugins. The integrated Sieve script editor enables users to create mail filtering rules, vacation auto-responders, and forwarding conditions directly within the web interface when connected to ManageSieve-capable servers on port 4190. Multi-domain administration allows a single instance to serve users across multiple IMAP servers with per-domain authentication routing. The admin panel manages extensions, security settings, branding customization, and domain configuration. GDPR-friendly by design, it removes all social media integrations, Gravatar lookups, and external tracking present in RainLoop. Dark mode strips background and font colors from email messages. The modified Squire HTML editor replaces CKEditor for composing rich-text messages. Scores 99% on Lighthouse performance. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Five mailboxes, five tabs, five passwords: Gofer folds Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and plain IMAP accounts into one browser tab where every inbox reads as a single, searchable whole. Threads, labels, and drag and drop keep triage fast, and search still finds the receipt from three years ago. Signatures and custom senders shape outgoing mail, scheduled sends wait for Monday morning, and a thread in another language translates in place. The calendar keeps pace with your mail: Google, Outlook, and CalDAV events sync both ways, invitations land in the inbox, and an RSVP or a Meet or Teams link attaches without leaving the message. Contacts follow the same rule through Google, Outlook, and CardDAV sync, so the address book you fix once is right everywhere. One install can serve a household or a small office, with separate users, encrypted credentials, blocked remote images, and passkey or authenticator sign-in for anyone who wants it. Classic, Minimal, and retro Express themes, flexible layouts, and push notifications make the daily inbox feel personal rather than administered. Leaving stays easy too: mailboxes export as mbox, mail moves between accounts, and a whole setup imports into another Gofer.

With over 7,100 GitHub stars and 200 contributors since 2016, Mailu has become one of the most popular self-hosted email solutions, delivering a complete production-ready mail server stack as pre-configured Docker containers that eliminate weeks of manual setup. The platform bundles Postfix for SMTP and Submission with auto-configuration profiles for Thunderbird, Outlook, and mobile clients, Dovecot for IMAP and POP3 with full-text search across email attachments, Rspamd for intelligent spam filtering with auto-learn Bayesian classification, greylisting, SPF and DMARC validation, and ClamAV for antivirus scanning of attachments with configurable malicious file blocking. The web administration interface provides global admin controls, per-domain delegation, user quota management, domain aliases, custom routing rules, and announcement capabilities. Users access self-service features including aliases, auto-reply, auto-forward, fetched accounts from external mailboxes via fetchmail, and Sieve filter management through ManageSieve. Security features include enforced TLS on all connections, automatic Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning, outgoing DKIM signing, DANE and MTA-STS support for transport security, and Snuffleupagus PHP hardening for the web interface. The setup wizard at setup.mailu.io generates complete Docker Compose configurations tailored to specific deployment requirements. All components are free and open-source software with zero proprietary dependencies and no tracking.
