I've been running this for the better part of two decades for SMTP/IMAP/POP, but I want more, like fulltext search via IMAP. Considering moving to Mailcow for a more full-featured experience, without having to tie all the different parts together myself. Thoughts?

I read no further.

I tried some of those solutions and gave up none of them included sieve at the time.

Switch to Docecot which has full text search and seive.

Sadly there aren’t any good seive clients, though logging in and using Emacs is not much of a burden.

Rainloop is solid.

Thanks.

Yes checkout iRedmail:

https://www.iredmail.org/

iRedMail is fine, pretty good set of components auto configured to cooperate, but it's a resource beast. 2GB of ram really isn't enough to operate it (mostly due to the virus scanners and its default config). I know we march towards ever increasing system ram, but it used to be trivial to run mail and web (plus small db and a server side language) in 512MB of ram

Well you can disable/enable everything like you want it.

You can disable spam/virus scanning by following this tutorial: https://docs.iredmail.org/completely.disable.amavisd.clamav....

Oh absolutely, and based on your initials I imagine you're the author (thank you for your work!) I didn't mean to suggest that iRedMail is setting `suck=11;` just that an individual might be surprised that it's not as trivial as it used to be to run a mail server (although it's more secure)

Yes i'm author of iRedMail project. :)
