A complete webmail platform.

Opterius Mail ships with every feature your users and infrastructure team need — from reading email to managing full mail domains.

Universal IMAP Support

Authenticates directly against any IMAP server. Dovecot, Courier, Exchange, Zimbra — no separate user database required.

Full-Featured Compose

Reply, forward, CC/BCC, inline signatures, save as draft. Contact autocomplete in the To/CC/BCC fields for fast addressing.

Folder Management

Create, rename, and delete IMAP folders directly from the sidebar. System folders (Sent, Drafts, Trash, Junk) are detected automatically.

Contacts & Autocomplete

Built-in address book with per-user contacts. Automatically suggests recipients while composing based on saved contacts.

Full-Text IMAP Search

Searches subject, sender, and message body across any folder via native IMAP UID SEARCH — no local index needed.

Domain Management

Add mail domains, run per-domain DNS health checks (MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM) and get clear pass/fail badges for every record.

Account & Alias Admin

Full CRUD for mail accounts, aliases, and distribution groups. Set per-account quotas, enable/suspend accounts, manage autoresponders.

DKIM Key Management

Generate RSA key pairs per domain and view the exact DNS TXT record to publish — all from a single admin screen.

Single Sign-On with Panel

HMAC-SHA256 signed SSO tokens allow Opterius Panel to log users directly into their webmail with a single click — no re-entering passwords.

Template System

Swap the entire UI with a custom template via a single env variable. Custom templates only need to override the views they change.

Security-First Design

Sandboxed iframe HTML email rendering prevents XSS. IMAP credentials stored only in encrypted session — never written to the database.

Mobile-Responsive

Slide-out folder sidebar and fluid message list work seamlessly on phones and tablets. No separate mobile app required.

Two deployment modes

Webmail only, or with full admin.

Run as a simple webmail client for existing infrastructure, or enable admin mode for complete mail server management.

MAIL_ADMIN=false (webmail only)

Webmail Mode

Drop it in front of any existing IMAP/SMTP setup. Users log in with their email credentials — no local database, no registration, no configuration beyond the IMAP host.

  • Direct IMAP login — no user table
  • Works with any mail server immediately
  • Minimal configuration required
MAIL_ADMIN=true (admin + webmail)

Admin + Webmail Mode

Recommended

Adds a full admin panel for managing domains, accounts, aliases, DKIM keys, spam settings, and the mail queue — while keeping the webmail experience identical for end users.

  • Domain & account CRUD with quotas
  • DKIM keys, DNS checks, spam settings
  • Mail queue view and flush
  • Separate admin session guard
Roundcube vs Opterius Mail

Why replace Roundcube?

Roundcube is a solid, battle-tested mailer — but it was designed in the 2000s. Opterius Mail is built for the 2020s.
