# Mailcow
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Probably the best email server solution for self-hosting.
 | 
						|
Features:
 | 
						|
- allows fetching from other imap servers (like gmail)
 | 
						|
- alias emails, alias domains, temporary aliases
 | 
						|
- integrated SoGo out-of-the-box, and can be integrated with other webmails (Roundcube, Rainloop)
 | 
						|
- With Roundcube plugin you can send emails through 3rd party imap
 |

#ADDITIONAL_SAN=imap.*,smtp.*

## Upgrading
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There's `update.sh` script in the cloned repo:
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
sudo ./update.sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Check for updates
 | 
						|
sudo ./update.sh --check
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Do not start mailcow after applying an update
 | 
						|
sudo ./update.sh --skip-start
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Update with merge strategy "ours" instead of "theirs"
 | 
						|
# This will merge in favor for your local changes.
 | 
						|
sudo ./update.sh --ours
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Don't update, but prefetch images and exit
 | 
						|
sudo ./update.sh --prefetch
 | 
						|
```
