Did I just read an add, I think I just read an ad for CrossBox.
No.

No.
It was meant as a good thing, not to be an ass.

That's a great way for a vendor to engage IMO. If their product offers a potential solution then why not mention it while contributing to the conversation and adding more details than what was listed before.
This was a blatant buy more product. It added value and only mentioned the product at the tail end.

Yeah and that was my point, it provided details without the "flashy ad".

That's correct but cPanel is not to blame here. They would include anything good enough and free (even more now when SquirrelMail got dropped out and only two webmails are left), but the current self-hosted webmail apps market is pretty outdated without much progress being made for years and most of the apps just looking old, not using the latest advancements in technology or just lacking features.

It's true, Zimbra uses a lot of resources.
-
Even with like six cores, and eight gigs of RAM, Zimbra will lock up from time to time while doing housekeeping.

Yeah but can run fine for 50 mailboxes on 4 GB of RAM...

I think I'll be moving the home lab to mailcow, more moo, less resources.

@travisdh1 I have been very happy with Mailcow. I am testing @CrossBox with mxroute.

Can, but it still slows way down doing... something.

Even email delivery we sometimes see stop and web interfaces fail for ten minutes or so while it does whatever it is doing.

@scottalanmiller you should checkout mailcow. I think you would be pleasantly surprised

I have, and it looks really nice. It's in our plans to do a full scale test, highly considering moving to it. Everything about it seems to fit our usage cases really well. Zimbra has a few features that it is lacking, but none are ones that we use. So we don't care
-
@scottalanmiller I just did another mailcow installation, and it's working great! How are you making out?

@Curtis
What is your host OS? I am using CentOS and Debian in production, but about to test Alpine
