Mail server add-on for ReadyNAS?

I've looked around a bit but can't seem to locate a mail server add-on for ReadyNAS. It looks like all the components are available, from MySQL for the back-end, to PHP to run a web-based front-end, but nothing to tie it all together.

Am I the only one interested in using my ReadyNAS as a mail server?

  • I too would like a mailserver on the readynas. Qnap uses xdove here is the link:

    Yes, I too would love for the ReadyNAS to have an IMAP mail aggregation feature that could sync with my many mail accounts. Something simple at first that stores mail in separate master folders for each mail service the ReadyNAS downlods mail from. Then later on something more complex such as mapping external mail server folders to specific folders maintained for download/upload on the ReadyNAS.

  • i agree. it would be nice to have a mail server built in.
    it really helps when trying to get a lost password back.
    otherwise you have to pray that the SMTP settings were setup right the first time through.
