But it gives me a few qeustions.

  1. How do you add email address?
  2. How do you get a website where users can send mails and get them?
  3. What do i need to fill in in my mobile email app to connect with my mail account?

I am using NodeJS

While I would recommend using SSL, if you need to disable it there is a thread on the iRedMail forums here that covers how to do this.

Postfix is just an MTA and not a full mail server. It allows the sending and routing of email but does not provide POP or IMAP services to retrieve mail or mailbox management. You will want to go with a more robust solution. We have a tutorial on setting up iRedMail which may be a better fit for what you’re looking to do.
