Configuring a webmail for inbound Amazon SES emails?

Question

Hi,

I will use Amazon SES for sending & receiving my email marketing campaigns but also I will need a webmail client to easily handle those incoming emails, read them, and reply to them. So, I'll use Rainloop as a webmail rather than paying for Amazon WorkMail.

Now, my question is... What is the right way or maybe (Webinoly way) to integrate Amazon SES with Rainloop so I can use Rainloop as a webmail client to send & receive from AWS SMTP?

I don't want to use Amazon S3 to store emails, I should store in my server. Also, I'll be using AWS SMTP for my email marketing software (automation emails) as well.

Webinoly does not handle email in the form of an inbox.

Rainloop (or Roundcube) are both web clients for displaying and answering emails that are in an inbox on a real email server, they are not mail servers themselves. Both could be hosted on Webinoly php/mysql. But it is better to have the web client close to the IMAP server.

Real mail servers would be (and are not compatible with Webinoly, you'd need another box):

https://mailinabox.email/

https://mailcow.email/

You could also use a redirect service to get mail@somedomain.com to your personal@gmail.com account.

Or you buy webmail somewhere.

There are hosting panels out there which also do email, but wordpress will always be better on Webinoly. One example would be https://hestiacp.com/ .

What if I "manually" apply all those configurations I see when I type  webinoly -info  , will this make my server and WordPress optimized on Hestia panel like on Webinoly?

Webinoly does much more than optimize those values, there are also kernel tweaks. I would suggest you get one box for WP on Webinoly and one for your email server.
