Poste.io
You can have a fully functional mail server installed in a few minutes, mostly waiting for scripts to do the work. The whole package is designed with reasonable defaults to get you up and running quickly, without having to know the internals and without making decisions that could break the email system.
User data and configuration is strictly separated from binaries. User database is stored in SQLite database - in file. This makes Poste.io fully compatible with external storage. Migration, backups or updates are therefore very easy and mostly consist of files manipulation.
Poste.io has been built from the ground up with security in mind. Internet history is littered with painful security incidents, so we traded old email client compatibility and insecure authentication methods for features that meet today's for features that meet modern security requirements.

Create your mail server for free in less than 10 minutes with Modoboa
When it comes to create a mailbox, you generally have several solutions:
- Use the services offered by Internet providers (Orange, Vodafone...) of infrastructure providers (OVH, Gandi...) with a monthly or annual subscription. However, customization and configuration possibilities, domains and mailboxes number are limited.
- Use the services of free email providers (Gmail, Live, Yahoo...) which are limited and your data is used for commercial purposes.
- Install your own email server, which requires important technical knowledge to setup and configure the system.
Modoboa is an alternative to those 3 options. It frees you from dependence on email providers and makes accessible to all the creation his own secure email server. The whole thing, in less than 10 minutes and freely.
