## Background
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work on mox started in 2021. Admins were migrating their emails to just a few
|
|
|
|
|
cloud/hosting providers. In part because running and maintaining email software
|
|
|
|
|
had become more complicated over time: additional email protocols required yet
|
|
|
|
|
another component in the software stack. Combining all these components into a
|
|
|
|
|
working email server had become too troublesome over time. These components
|
|
|
|
|
were also often written in C, a programming language where a small mistake
|
|
|
|
|
typically has large consequences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mox is a modern email server that implements all modern email protocols in a
|
|
|
|
|
single easy to use and maintain application.
