  • Yes. You can run them both on the same machine and it would probably be cheaper that way.

    To minimize costs, besides looking at the cost of hardware, you’ll also want to consider the amount of electricity that the server uses with the memory and hard drives you have installed.

    The Monero docs say it uses 100 GB or more bandwidth a month. You may want to look at the quality of service settings on your router to make sure that it’s not interfering with other uses of your network.








  • You use an IMAP syncer, like this one:

    A word of caution: I professionally hosted email for over a decade.

    90% or incoming email will be spam. Anti-spam tools will need regular updates. Backups are also super important.

    All things considered, I don’t host my own email anymore although I know all the pieces involved.

    There are also some independent email hosts that are good like Fastmail or for extra privacy, Proton Mail.








  • Despite all the other answers, I suspect Web Browser is the most popular. As web apps for email got better, development of desktop clients stalled.

    Fast search through a lot mail takes some considerable resources to build, store and search an index, and web-based systems do that really well.

    I’ve used about all of them over the years: Pine, Mutt, Thunderbird, Evolution, K-Mail and some others.

    I eventually threw in the towel and use web UIs now. Fast, available everywhere and good keyboard support, especially when paired with a browser extension like Vimium.
