- run smtp imap pop3 server on windows
- host my own mail server
- windows email server software
- legacy mail server maintenance
- migrate away from hmailserver
When to choose
- you must maintain an existing hMailServer deployment on Windows
- you need a reference C++ codebase for mail server internals
When to avoid
