I am looking to self host emails for a small non profit organization. MX plans are cheap when buying a domain name but come with poor webmail like Roundcube[0] which really feels outdated when compared with Gmail or Fastmail. I am looking to self host a full featured modern webmail client but can’t find any. Why ?<p>Soho[1] is the best I have found and supported by Gandi[2].<p>[0] https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail

This doesn't really answer your question about why there aren't many options, but: did you find mailpile[1] on your travels? It could be worth considering too.<p>[1] - <a href="https://www.mailpile.is/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mailpile.is/</a>
I hope you don't mind, but i read about your france project a few days ago and would love to get in contact with you on your experience about it.<p>Nothing big more like your experieince, things like how easy is it to build your things in france, water rights, internet etc.<p>My email is sicaine at gmail com
Why not use something like Postfix or Exim with a local application like Thunderbird?<p>Also unless this is a tech-savvy organization or emailing or FOSS is part of their mission, consider just sticking with something from Google, Microsoft or Fastmail. A shelter for homeless kittens probably doesn't want to mess with something custom.
It's not as easy as you imagine, especially when you want to make it "simple" like Gmail, there's a lot of work that goes into a "simple for the user" interface.
