Good choices! I also tried those three. Mailcow was my favourite but maybe you'll like one of the other ones better. Mailcow uses Docker (which I prefer compared to installing software directly on the system) and has a nice admin panel. They're all good choices though.
I keep saying it but I need to get familiar with docker, especially to run all other kinds of services.
I guess I will try mailcow first.
You don't need to know too much about Docker to use Mailcow. It comes with a preconfigured
docker-compose.ymlso you just need to install Docker and follow Mailcow's installation instructions (which are pretty straightforward)If you have any spare domains that you aren't using (or domains you're not currently using email with), you could test it out with that domain before moving any domains you care about :) That's what I did.
Right on. The first domain I will buy will be a personal fun one, just to experiment and mess around. I don't quite know what professional name I want for my domain, since I don't have a brand or anything, and having just my name seems odd.
