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 The project is obsolete and no longer maintained, with the README pointing to alternatives like Nylas N1 and Mailpile.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
