Poste.io
You can have a fully functional mail server installed in a few minutes, mostly waiting for scripts to do the work. The whole package is designed with reasonable defaults to get you up and running quickly, without having to know the internals and without making decisions that could break the email system.
User data and configuration is strictly separated from binaries. User database is stored in SQLite database - in file. This makes Poste.io fully compatible with external storage. Migration, backups or updates are therefore very easy and mostly consist of files manipulation.
Poste.io has been built from the ground up with security in mind. Internet history is littered with painful security incidents, so we traded old email client compatibility and insecure authentication methods for features that meet today's for features that meet modern security requirements.
