Kite is a self-hosted webmail client designed to look like Gmail, with an AngularJS frontend and a Python 2 backend, deployable on a single server via Vagrant. The project is obsolete and no longer maintained, with the README pointing to alternatives like Nylas N1 and Mailpile.
Use cases
- self-host a gmail-like webmail client
- run a webmail interface on a single server
- replace commercial webmail with an open-source client
- deploy an email web client with vagrant
- browse and read email in the browser
When to choose
- you need a gmail-style webmail you can self-host and are willing to maintain it yourself
- you want a simple single-server email web client for study or forking
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready webmail client
- you cannot work with Python 2 and abandoned dependencies
- you want active community support or security updates
