Copied from r/selfhosted as seems interesting enough to share with wider audience.
I’m excited to announce the release of Stalwart Mail Server, a single binary solution that combines the Stalwart JMAP, Stalwart IMAP, and Stalwart SMTP servers into one easy-to-install package.
In response to user feedback, some key enhancements were made. Stalwart Mail Server now supports LDAP and SQL authentication, providing seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
For single node setups, RocksDB has been replaced with SQLite with the option of using LiteStream for replication. For larger, distributed setups, support for FoundationDB was added, letting you scale to millions of users without sacrificing performance. Additionally, it is now also possible to store your emails in an S3-compatible storage solution such as MinIO, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud Storage.
Other notable updates include support for disk quota, subaddressing (or plus addressing) and catch-all addresses.

I look forward to your feedback and questions!
Wow!
I was searching exactly for this! I wanted to run a mail server for fun between a few users (Delta chat) but I didn’t want to have a full VM dedicated to that, just a docker
There’s docker-mailserver which runs the entire stack in one container.
Pedantic side-note: you don’t run “a docker”. You run a container, and you happen to use docker to do so. Just like you don’t send someone an Outlook or Chrome their website. Docker is just a way of running OCI containers, not the whole tech.
I’ve been playing with DeltaChat a little bit. How do you like it? Have you found any problems with it? Curious about any experiences …
Didn’t really use it, as I think there’s too much overhead and if used as intended it counts as abuse on a free email account (too many messages sent/received in a burst) - that’s why I wanted to self host that mailboxes
