	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros GUI configuration is very important. This simplifies a lot of things. It has an installer and well documented. Cons Windows only. hMailServer is no longer being actively developed. The latest major version was released several years ago and since then only critical updates have been released. hMailServer relies on algorithms which are considered insecure by modern standards, such as SHA1.
