- One login for mail & workspace
- Dedicated mail server per instance
- Import wizard for migration
- JMAP technology for maximum speed
Single sign-on
Sign in once. Done.
No separate mail password, no double login: your workspace login is your mail login.
No mail password in the client
The mailbox connection runs over JMAP with modern, token-based authentication: mail passwords are never transmitted in the first place.
Transparent session renewal
Access tokens are renewed automatically in the background: you stay signed in even after brief connection drops on the train or subway.
Dashboard widget
New unread mails right on the workspace start page: one click opens the message in the mail client.
Technology
The evolution of email: Blazing fast and battery-friendly
Souvera Mail talks to your mail server via JMAP (RFC 8620): the modern email standard by the Internet Engineering Task Force. Instead of the decades-old combination of IMAP and SMTP, a single protocol handles mailbox, sending, search and push: noticeably faster, more secure and more efficient.
Real-time without the battery dilemma
Conventional phones actively poll for new emails every few minutes, which drains the battery. Souvera pushes new emails to your device instantly and energy-efficiently: as fast as a text message.
Milliseconds instead of loading bars
When opening the app, only minimal changes are transferred instead of reloading the entire mailbox. Your mailbox is ready to use on the train, in the car and on poor connections.
Your own delivery highway (no blacklist risk)
With standard cloud providers, you share mail infrastructure with thousands of strangers. If one of them sends spam, everyone gets blocked. With Souvera, the mail server belongs exclusively to you: for impeccable reputation and reliable delivery.

Mail importer
The moving assistant: import old mails in five steps
New users are automatically guided by the import wizard on first launch: the complete contents of the old mailbox move along.
Welcome
On first opening, the wizard greets you automatically.
Credentials
Enter the IMAP credentials of your old provider: host, user, password.
Check & preview
Connection test with preview: "12 folders · 8,432 messages will be transferred".
Import in the background
The import continues server-side: you may close the window, the progress stays visible.
Done
Success message with all details: or helpful support information in case of problems.
Your old provider's password is discarded immediately after the start and is never stored permanently.

App passwords
One app password for everything
For external programs like Thunderbird or Apple Mail, you create an app password with one click: and it instantly works for all services at once:
IMAP
SMTP
Sieve filters
WebDAV
CalDAV
CardDAV
Created in seconds, without any admin intervention: and revoked with one click. Revoking removes access everywhere at once.
Team mailboxes
Shared mailboxes, done properly
Shared mailboxes in Souvera Mail behave the way teams expect from professional systems.
Automatic send-as
When replying from a team mailbox, the team address is automatically preselected as the sender.
Sent in the right place
Sent replies land in the team mailbox's Sent folder: not your own. Every thread stays traceable for the whole team.
Identities sync themselves
If the administrator grants a new send permission, the identity automatically appears in the compose window: with no action needed from the user.
Seamless integration
A client that knows the whole workspace
Souvera Mail is no foreign body: it talks to every part of your workspace.
Contacts connection
Recipient autocompletion accesses all address books of the workspace.
Calendar invitations
Adopt meeting invitations from emails into the calendar with one click: with duplicate detection.
Files integration
Save attachments directly to file storage: and send files from the workspace as attachments.
Unified search
The workspace search also finds emails: subject, sender and body text.
Live storage display
Current mailbox usage is always visible and warns with colors before space runs out.
Help at a keystroke
F1 opens the integrated help: server settings to copy, setup guides for iOS, Android and desktop plus all keyboard shortcuts.
Still looking for a compliant mail archive?
Fully integrated with Souvera on request: your entire email communication is archived immutably, GoBD-compliant and with statutory retention periods: right inside your workspace, no second system.
Go to mail archiveWORM storage
Once archived, forever immutable: even for administrators.
Statutory retention
Six to ten years of retention under HGB and AO: managed automatically.
Full-text search
Find any archived message within seconds: attachments included.
Security & devices
Full control over access and sessions
A dedicated area in the mail client shows at any time who and what has access to your account.
Sessions under control
All active sessions and devices at a glance: sign out individual ones or end all others with one click.
Manage app passwords
Every app password is listed individually and can be revoked at any time.
Consistent mailbox isolation
Before every access, it is technically verified that only the actual owner opens their mailbox: users of the same instance are 100% separated.
No mail data outside the mail server
Emails reside exclusively on your dedicated mail server: keeping backups lean and responsibilities clear.
Souvera OpenBackup: Back up your entire workspace daily as a readable ZIP to a destination of your choice: including emails as .eml and database dump.
Free client choice
Also works with your favorite program
Souvera Mail is fully at home in the browser: but forces nothing on you. Via open standards, you can use mailbox, calendar and contacts in any common program.
One combined app password is all it takes: IMAP, SMTP, calendar and contacts are set up instantly.
Your mailbox. Your server. Your rules.
We'd be happy to show you Souvera Mail live: including the import wizard.
