    Stoat looks promising as an open source alternative

    Theyve been around for a few years and I'm still not really impressed. No E2EE, No federation if the people running it go belly up. You might as well use signal ATP.

    I just tried to sign up for it. Installed app and signed up, it wouldn't go through. So I go to web interface and create an account there. I've waited ONE HOUR for email verification, and NOTHING. Asked to resend verification, they made me click through 5 captivas, and still NOTHING. Moving on from stoat.

    Misconfiguration with SMTP is likely or their SMTP server is under maintenance and you just tried at a poor time.

    Granted for a production environment there should be some notice to users.
