Mail Server?

Post by ibycus »

I see a few posts but nothing concrete. I’d like to be able to run a mail server on my qnap. I’ve seen the QmailClient program which is 99% of the way there, but I’d just like to be able to access it via outlook or other standard mail client, rather than have to use a webmail type interface...

Does such a thing exist? Am I blind?

With all the current hacking attacks, do not run anything on QNAP native and expose it (like a mailserver)

check for mailserver packages for VM or docker (you have not disclosed your NAS model, so no direct advise can be given)

Wasn’t planning on exposing it to the world, just for internal network access. The idea would be qnap downloads, stores mail, wipes remote imap server, internal network accesses qnap imap server.

At home I’m running a TS-231, (older, no suffixes). Thinking about this for work. Would be buying a new Qnap to run.

It does run on the nas, but (as far as I can see) doesn’t offer imap access to it. (Only web based access)

There are a few available, xeams being one of them. Did you check the App Store?
Use the forum search feature before posting.

Use RAID and external backups. RAID will protect you from disk failure, keep your system running, and data accessible while the disk is replaced, and the RAID rebuilt. Backups will allow you to recover data that is lost or corrupted, or from system failure. One does not replace the other.
