You're looking for
[Mailpiler](https://www.mailpiler.org/download.html).

You can install it without Docker (although I'd always recommend going
for containers).

thx, but the installation seems quite aweful. Is there a guide to
install it with docker? I can't find anything on their website.

Maybe this:

- https://github.com/jsuto/piler-
examples/blob/master/examples/zentyal/docker-compose.yaml

or this:

- https://github.com/stephdl/nethserver-piler/blob/aa3dc33734d4c963e31
fb7d8fdb417775b4db8b0/root/etc/e-

Some devs creates bash scripts where you can just execute it or some
devs just make a step-by-step tutorial and don't say "install xyz, you
need to find out how. One of the required packages are not available
anymore? Anyways.."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

well yeah and most don't because it's nearly impossible to do that as
you would need to create a guide for each distro/arch/version/... or
have people ranting that "apt install mysql" didnt work on their
fedora box. A complete guide for a distro I'm not using is the same as
your "install xyz, you need to find out how. One of the required
packages are not available anymore? Anyways.."

​

It's way easier to create a docker container which runs on pretty much
anything, as long as architecture is the same. Have docker installed?
It works!

The developer monetises remote installation for you over SSH. Can’t
fault their enterprise! That said, I’m an absolute noob and I got it
working a few years ago just fine. Perhaps they’ve obfuscated the
instructions since then to increase revenue!

Sadly I haven't found anything that comes close to MailStore Home
[https://www.mailstore.com/en/products/mailstore-
home/](https://www.mailstore.com/en/products/mailstore-home/)


It's free, but sadly not Open Source and only for Windows. But at
least it runs in portable mode.

Yes, mailstore  is great.

I use it for some stuff or a docker with dovecot imap as a destination
archive for imapsync. Both are good ways of archiving mail.

I know it's not what you asked for, but take a look, maybe you can see
another use case.

I installed Poste.io for this very reason... though it might be
available only in docker, not sure...

blackstar2043 · 2023-12-07 13:17

I opted for offlineimap, dovecot, and snappymail.
