About Dovel

Dovel is a modern email server built for individuals and small teams who want to host their own email without complexity. It combines IMAP, SMTP, and a built-in webmail client, all managed through a clean interface. Under the hood, it relies on reliable components like Dovecot and Postfix, but automates configuration to reduce manual setup.

The software runs on Linux and integrates with DNS providers for automatic SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. It uses Let's Encrypt for TLS certificates and supports Sieve mail filtering. Dovel is actively developed on GitHub with a focus on security and ease of use.

Dovel is open source under the GNU AGPLv3 license, making it free to self-host. It is ideal for users who want to avoid third-party email services and maintain data sovereignty. The project is maintained by the Dovel Team, with documentation available on the official website.
