Dove runs a full local mail server stack with SMTP, IMAP, and POP3. Applications connect to the SMTP server to send emails, and mail clients like Thunderbird or Apple Mail connect via IMAP or POP3 to retrieve them. MX records are automatically created when mailboxes are added to a domain. Incoming emails are parsed for headers, content, attachments, and spam scoring. All mail stays on your machine.
Create and manage mail users. Each user can own multiple mailboxes across different domains and authenticate against the mail server.
{% url "mail.mailboxes" as mailboxes_path %}Create email addresses tied to your registered domains. Each mailbox gets its own folders, storage, and supports aliases for receiving mail at multiple addresses.
{% url "mail.webmail" as webmail_path %}Full browser-based mail client. Compose with rich text editor, reply, reply all, forward, and attach files with drag-and-drop. Manage folders, search and filter messages, tag and star emails. Inspect complete headers, raw MIME source, and HTML rendering per message.
Create send-only addresses with no inbox. Useful for transactional emails, notifications, and automated messages that should not receive replies.
Track and inspect bounced emails. Messages sent to non-existent mailboxes on registered domains are captured with sender, recipient, and reason for analysis.
Analyse incoming emails for spam indicators. Check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment, score deliverability, and flag suspicious messages automatically.
Server-side mail filters for automatic organisation. Define conditions and actions to move, tag, forward, or auto-respond to incoming messages.
Connect desktop and mobile mail clients like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Outlook directly to Dove. Retrieve emails over IMAP for synced access or POP3 for download.
