  • Roundcube

    A self-hosted, browser-based IMAP webmail client written in PHP.

  • Nextcloud Mail

    An IMAP webmail app that runs inside your own Nextcloud server.

    Nextcloud Mail runs as an IMAP webmail app inside your own Nextcloud server, next to files, contacts and calendar, but requires Nextcloud to be installed.

  • SOGo

    An open-source groupware server with webmail, shared calendars and address books for organisations.

    SOGo provides webmail plus shared calendars and address books with ActiveSync support for organisations, but needs existing mail and directory servers to integrate with.

  • Horde Groupware

    Horde Groupware replaces lightweight webmail with a full PHP groupware suite including calendar, tasks and notes, at the cost of more server maintenance and security fixes to track.
