Take control of YOUR email.

Email on the Internet is too hard to do on your own! Fighting SPAM and ensuring your email is delivered into people's inboxes is a full time job that cannot be done by normal people. The major email providers want you to think that at least.

They want you to think that running your own mail server is super hard so you use their services. These exact services invade your privacy, reduce your freedom, and prevent you from having total control over the most important aspect of your life online.

SolidMail provides you with the platform to selfhost your own email without the headaches of setting it up on your own and support when you need help.

Why should I run my own mailserver?

We get this question a lot. Why would I want to spend the time and money to run my own mail server? It's a pretty simple question to answer but a hard one to set into practice. We think there are four major points on why you should run your own mail server.

  • Privacy Keep your conversations to yourself without it being used by third parties.
  • Security Ensure your email isn't used for bad things.
  • Ownership You own your email data. Not some other company.
  • Flexiblity Move your email to any provider of your choice.

Email has been a "solved" problem for a while now. You can get a free email account from any major provider and start sending and receiving email with little hassle. These providers have made it their goal to make email so easy for you that you don't care that your email is being used to make them money. They can even cut off your access for no reason what so ever and you will lose everything that you have sent or received on that account.

You can also lose access to other accounts on the internet. Like your bank or social media accounts. Without access to your email your online experiance gets painful pretty quickly.

We want to enable you to run your own email server quickly and safely. We believe that SolidMail can do that for you.
