## What it is
PMail is a lightweight personal email server written in Go that ships as a single ~15MB binary with full send/receive SMTP/POP3 services and a web management interface. It supports DKIM/SPF, multi-domain and multi-user setups, and automatic Let's Encrypt certificate management via ACME.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal email server on my own domain
- run a lightweight mail server with minimal memory usage
- deploy a single-binary SMTP and POP3 server
- set up a domain mailbox in minutes with Docker
- send and receive email with DKIM and SPF configured
- replace heavy mail servers like Mailcow with something minimal

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, resource-efficient personal mail server that runs as a single file
- you need quick deployment with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates
- you want multi-domain, multi-user support with standard mail client compatibility via SMTP/POP3

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise features like IMAP, webmail plugins, or advanced filtering
- you require a full groupware suite with calendars and contacts
- you need a mail server with a large community and long-term commercial support
