iRedMail is an open source, full-featured mail server solution that installs and configures SMTP, IMAP/POP3, webmail (Roundcube/SOGo), and security best practices on mainstream Linux and BSD distributions. It bundles open source components into a deployable stack with unlimited mail accounts, TLS encryption, and optional admin panel tooling.

Use cases

• set up a self-hosted email server on ubuntu
• deploy a full mail server with webmail in minutes
• host my own email with unlimited mailboxes
• install smtp imap server on debian or freebsd
• self-hosted email with caldav carddav and activesync
• replace paid email hosting with open source mail server
• secure mail server with tls and spam filtering

When to choose

• you want a complete, pre-integrated mail stack (SMTP, IMAP, webmail, antispam) deployed quickly on Linux/BSD
• you need unlimited mail domains and users without per-mailbox licensing
• you want secure-by-default settings like forced TLS and hashed passwords
• you need groupware features such as CalDAV, CardDAV, and ActiveSync via SOGo

When to avoid

• you need a managed or cloud-hosted email service without server administration
• you want to run mail on unsupported OSes like Windows or macOS
• you need advanced admin features like RESTful API management, which requires the paid iRedAdmin-Pro
• you prefer to hand-pick and configure each mail component yourself
