I’m excited to announce the release of Stalwart Mail Server, a single binary solution that combines the Stalwart JMAP, Stalwart IMAP, and Stalwart SMTP servers into one easy-to-install package.
In response to user feedback, some key enhancements were made. Stalwart Mail Server now supports LDAP and SQL authentication, providing seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
For single node setups, RocksDB has been replaced with SQLite with the option of using LiteStream for replication. For larger, distributed setups, support for FoundationDB was added, letting you scale to millions of users without sacrificing performance. Additionally, it is now also possible to store your emails in an S3-compatible storage solution such as MinIO, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud Storage.
Other notable updates include support for disk quota, subaddressing (or plus addressing) and catch-all addresses.

I look forward to your feedback and questions!
JMAP was developed by the guys that run FastMail (who are the primary developers of the open source email server Cyrus-IMAP). It’s easier to implement and more performant.
Side note, Cyrus is a pretty amazing mail server. It doesn’t get much love here, but it’s bombproof, fast, supports multi-node clusters, IMAP, NNTP, CalDAV, CardDAV and more that I’m forgetting. It’s just a bit old school as far as configuring goes.
