neutron VS Directus

PS: I hope that we selfhosters will have a modern, efficient, easy to use mail suite one day with modern features like JMAP, good self-learning spam integration, automated checks and validations for SPF/DMARC/DKIM or whether the IP/host suddenly appears in a blocklist and integrated encryption at rest for emails. Something that isn't 30 services in a container image, with 30 different configuration styles. Maybe even with an API integrated that's compatible to the ProtonMail frontend (like the neutron server once intended to be). Anyway, I'm sorry for dreaming. ;)

A bit related: there was a FOSS backend once but I don't think anyone wants to push further.

Some folks once started neutron which is an email server that can be used with the FOSS Protonmail web client but it was abandoned. And I guess you'd want to support JMAP in addition to IMAP as well apart from having automated encryption of incoming plain-text emails.

Anyway, to the topic: there was once neutron which is a server that aimed at ProtonMail compatibility. So that'd would simply would be able to use the same open source frontend from ProtonMail. However, this was abandoned. So you, or somebody else, could revive it.

Some folks also started implementing an FOSS ProtonMail but this project was abandoned at some point. But maybe someone will fork and revive it one day.

Two devs once started implementing a free ProtonMail server but they abandoned it. It's understandable, since it's a lot of work.

Some folks once started a free implementation of the Protonmail backend in Go. Maybe you want to revive it?

Some folks also started an open source Protonmail backend but this was abandoned at one point.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

You could try https://www.airtable.com/ (check the prices) or https://directus.io/ (check the prices) or hire someone :)

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
