    Welcome to the forums

    No.
    Or if you think I can use spinneret web server for a mail server use ?
    Yes. As far as I know, email server code does not exist. You would have to write the mail server code.

    And you think I can edit Ubuntu server to add compatibility to Spinneret server ? Or not ?

    I want to install RoundCube in Spinneret server...

    The Spinneret server will not work for what you want to do. Not even close.

    Again, the spinneret will not work for you.

    Instead, I'd suggest buying a second hand server from an online surplus store. Here is one example: http://www.geeks.com/products.asp?cat=SVR

    Alternately, you could also use any old machine that you have laying around as a server.

    So you think, I can't make a modified ubuntu wich works on spinneret server.

    I can't run PHP, Apache, mysql, ssh and sftp in spinneret server. Sorry but it's really important for me.

    Thanks for answer !

    Correct! The Spinneret can NOT run a LAMP environment.

    You might consider an ARM based SBC (Single Board Computer).

    RaspberryPi or similar comes to mind maybe?
