Why Thunderbird?
All Mailcow accounts at KnausDev, personal domains, client email, managed in one desktop client. Open-source, no telemetry, no subscription. Does exactly what an email client should do without trying to be a platform.
Email Management
Thunderbird connects to the self-hosted Mailcow instance via IMAP/SMTP, giving a unified inbox across all domains managed at KnausDev.
What it handles
- Multiple accounts: knaus.dev, knaus.web, and client domains all in one place
- IMAP sync: full mailbox access synced with Mailcow
- Calendar integration: scheduling without a separate app
- Filtering and organization: rules for sorting client vs. personal communication
- Runs on NixOS: installed declaratively as part of the system configuration
Status
Active: desktop email client for all Mailcow-managed accounts.
