Cypht

Cypht is a self-hosted web application that aggregates multiple email accounts and news feeds into a single unified view. It functions as a centralized interface for managing communication without replacing existing mail accounts, acting as a bridge between various services. The software is deployed as a server-side application and accessed via a web browser, allowing users to access their data from any compatible device.

Users employ Cypht to browse IMAP folders, send outbound messages via SMTP, and track RSS or Atom feeds. It is designed for individuals who manage several different email addresses across different providers and want to avoid switching between separate login sessions to check their messages. By combining these streams, the application provides a consolidated timeline of incoming communications and news updates.

Key features

• Aggregation of multiple email accounts into one view
• Support for IMAP and SMTP protocols
• Integration with JMAP and EWS
• Built-in news reader for feed aggregation
• Plugin based architecture using module sets
• Ability to manage and browse IMAP folders
• Support for sending outbound messages

The application is built on a framework that executes module sets, which provide a flexible way to add new features or customize the program without hacking the core code. This modular design ensures that the software remains adaptable to different user needs and protocol updates. It is developed using PHP and can be installed via Composer or deployed using Docker for easier containerization and environment management. This architecture makes it particularly suitable for developers who wish to extend the functionality of their mail aggregator through the creation of custom modules.

Because it supports a wide array of protocols including EWS and JMAP, the software can connect to a variety of corporate and personal mail servers. It treats email similarly to how a news reader treats feeds, focusing on the aggregation of content from disparate sources into a single stream for efficient consumption.

Cypht serves as a communication hub for users requiring a unified interface for email and news feeds.
