v-add-sys-snappymail command is not usable because of the snappymail website is down for a long time. and this project is not get critic updates almost for years.

Is there anyone who use afterlogic webmail-lite?

Hestia 1.10.0 should fix the issues:

refactor(snappymail): move config to /var/lib/snappymail and support hardened PHP-FPM (#5344)

**1.-** Move SnappyMail configuration and data to `/var/lib/snappymail` to suppo…rt recent PHP-FPM systemd hardening changes (`ProtectSystem=full`). With newer PHP versions, keeping SnappyMail data under `/etc/snappymail` causes permission errors. While a systemd override using `ReadWritePaths=/etc/snappymail/data` is possible, migrating the configuration avoids additional overrides and ensures compatibility with newer and hardened PHP-FPM services. **2.-** Update SnappyMail download URL from snappymail.eu to GitHub releases because snappymail.eu has been unavailable for several days, making installations impossible. This change restores reliable installation by switching to the official GitHub release distribution. **3.-** Replaced `/etc/snappymail` to `/var/lib/snappymail` in several scripts and functions. **4.-** Fix SnappyMail plugin configuration issues: - Preserve indentation in sed replacements for hestia_host and hestia_port - Fix hestia_port sed command which was incorrectly replacing with hestia_host - Use correct argv index ($argv[5]) for BACKEND_PORT, previously using $argv[4] (DB password) - Cast hestia_port to int so json_encode writes it as a number instead of a string - Fix json_decode call to use file_get_contents() instead of passing a file path directly Modified files: ``` bin/v-add-sys-snappymail bin/v-change-sys-hostname bin/v-change-sys-port bin/v-delete-sys-snappymail docs/docs/server-administration/email.md func/upgrade.sh install/common/snappymail/install.php install/upgrade/versions/1.9.5.sh ``` Tested in Debian 12; Fresh install and upgrade from Hestia 1.9.4.

Thank you for your answer. will you consider afterlogic that it seems nice and strong mail client on further versions of HestiaCP?

Out there is Cypht, that looks good too but sincerely I didn’t take a look either to Cypht or Afterlogic to know whether those webmails could be integrated with Hestia.
