Why use this app?

VapourApps E-Mail is an alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server.

You can have your own e-mail server with your own domain name and access it from everywhere in the world.

Webmail can be configured to be accessible only via VPN (which is part of VapourApps Directory).

You can use any e-mail client to connect to this e-mail server, such as:

  • Mozilla Thunderbird,
  • Microsoft Outlook,
  • Microsoft Outlook express,
  • Evolution, as well as smartphone e-mail clients.

If you need extra security, using the VapourApps dashboard you can generate e-mail client certificates, to encrypt the traffic secure communication between between users.

That way, e-mails are stored encrypted on the server and can be decrypted only from the very computer of the owner of the e-mail account.

After you select for what messages the filter will apply, you need to add two actions: Redirect message to (or Send message copy to) and Stop processing messages. Redirecting doesn’t leave a copy on the server, while copying the message leaves a local copy.
