So this is my story: the more time passed, the more it felt wrong for me having a lot of my personnal data stored inside servers of giant US companies like microsoft, google... So I started to build my own personnal cloud server by renting a 7$/month small dedicated server.
iRedMail made that dream possible for the mail side. It's easy to install, easy to use, support latest mail technologies and the support provided even for free by Zhang in the forum is better than professional support of other paid companies like IBM.
So to everyone else looking for a private mail server, iredmail is the way to go.
