Email Server

1. Installing the Email Server

First of all you need to go to the Apps menu.

If already installed, the Email Server will be shown above the Disabled line. This is likely not your case, but if it is, that means that the Email Server is already installed, so this chapter isn't for you and you ought to jump to the next one.

If the Email Server is shown among the icons below the Disabled line, it is either not yet installed or it is currently disabled. This is the usual starting status.

Select the Email Server app. You are presented with the Email Server app page. If not installed yet you'll be shown the Install button. Click on it!

This will trigger the installation process.

After installing all needed software packages, configuring them, etc FreedomBox will tell you that the installation is successful and the app page will show additional content like the port information and several feature configuration forms organized by means of tabs.

Next time you go to the Apps Menu it will show the Email Server enabled (above the disabled line).
