Exchange Type Mail Solution

Email Applications

We currently use pop3 mail accounts but some users have multiple devices and would like to get their mail on PC, laptop, tablet or phone. Is there an MS Exchange type solution that I can host on DO? I would think that there would be but I’m new to this community and not sure how to implement it. We have <20 mail accounts and would like the flexibility of Exchange but without the prohibitive cost. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There are a few open-source solutions for email hosting that might fit your needs in this article https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tags/email?type=tutorials

However, configuring and managing a self-hosted email solution can also be a challenge, and I recommend reviewing this as well before you decide to move forward: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/why-you-may-not-want-to-run-your-own-mail-server

Why You May Not Want To Run Your Own Mail Server

While it is possible to run your own mail server, it is often not the best option for a variety of reasons. This guide will cover many of the reasons that you may not want to run your own mail server, and offer a few alternatives.
