Selfmail is an open-source business first email provider, focused on simplicity and privacy. Selfmail is currently in an very early preview phase. The entire email provider is open-source, available on GitHub and selfhostable. A pricing model will come, when we'll go into our first beta.

## Why Selfmail?

There are a ton of email providers out there, so why use Selfmail?

* **Free to use**: Selfmail is completely free to use, with no hidden costs or fees. You can use Selfmail for as long as you want, without any limitations.
* **Open-source**: Selfmail is open-source, meaning you can inspect the code, contribute to it, and even selfhost it if you want to.
* **Privacy-focused**: Selfmail is built with privacy in mind. We do not track you, we do not sell your data, and we do not show you ads.
* **Business-first**: Selfmail is designed for businesses. We offer features like custom domains, team management, and more.

This sounds great, right? We would never sell your data to third parties, nor would we show you ads. We believe in a free and open internet, and we want to contribute to that vision.

## Pricing

Selfmail is not yet in a production mode, this means, we **do not have a pricing model yet**. When we go into our first beta, we will introduce a pricing model. Until then, Selfmail is completely free to use. Future plans would look like the following ones:

# Quickstart
Source: https://docs.selfmail.app/quickstart

Start building awesome documentation in minutes

## Get started in three steps

Get your documentation site running locally and make your first customization.

### Step 1: Set up your local environment

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="copy" title="Clone your docs locally">
    During the onboarding process, you created a GitHub repository with your docs content if you didn't already have one. You can find a link to this repository in your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).

    To clone the repository locally so that you can make and preview changes to your docs, follow the [Cloning a repository](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository) guide in the GitHub docs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="rectangle-terminal" title="Start the preview server">
    1. Install the Mintlify CLI: `npm i -g mint`
    2. Navigate to your docs directory and run: `mint dev`
    3. Open `http://localhost:3000` to see your docs live!

    <Tip>Your preview updates automatically as you edit files.</Tip>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

### Step 2: Deploy your changes

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="github" title="Install our GitHub app">
    Install the Mintlify GitHub app from your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/organization/github-app).

    Our GitHub app automatically deploys your changes to your docs site, so you don't need to manage deployments yourself.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="palette" title="Update your site name and colors">
    For a first change, let's update the name and colors of your docs site.

    1. Open `docs.json` in your editor.
    2. Change the `"name"` field to your project name.
    3. Update the `"colors"` to match your brand.
    4. Save and see your changes instantly at `http://localhost:3000`.

    <Tip>Try changing the primary color to see an immediate difference!</Tip>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

### Step 3: Go live

<Accordion icon="rocket" title="Publish your docs">
  1. Commit and push your changes.
  2. Your docs will update and be live in moments!
</Accordion>

## Next steps
