| Administration | The project provides a setup script to configure and administer the mail server. | The mailcow web interface lets administrators create domains and email addresses and manage most settings. |
| Integrations | Documented email relay options include AWS SES and Gmail, and the project also documents Kubernetes and Podman deployment. | The documentation lists client setup guides for Android, Apple macOS/iOS, eM Client, KDE Kontact, Outlook, and Thunderbird. |
| Support | The repository asks users to consult the documentation before opening issues and says the issue tracker is for issues, not personal support. | Commercial support is available through Servercow, while community support is voluntary, best-effort, and not guaranteed. |
