Part of the PurelyManage series. Listing Users The Users page shows all email accounts across all your domains. The list is served from a local PostgreSQL cache rather than a live PurelyMail API call on every page load. The reason is speed and rate limits. PurelyMail’s listUser endpoint returns all users in one call, but calling it on every page load when you have 50+ users and the page auto-refreshes every 60 seconds is wasteful. The cache (purelymail_users table) is populated on first boot and kept in sync by a background cron that runs a full refresh daily at 2am. When a user is created or deleted through the panel, the cache is updated immediately so the UI reflects the change without waiting for the cron. ...

Part of the PurelyManage series. Adding a Domain Adding a domain in PurelyManage is a single form: enter the domain name and submit. The backend calls the PurelyMail addDomain API and the domain appears in your list. await pmPost('/api/v0/addDomain', { domainName }) The domain will show as unhealthy immediately because no DNS records are set yet. That is expected. The next steps are ownership verification and DNS setup. Ownership Verification PurelyMail requires you to prove you control the domain before it will route email for it. Verification is done by adding a TXT record to your DNS with a value PurelyMail provides. ...

Part of the PurelyManage series. The Problem Any admin panel that manages real data has a deletion problem. The moment you give someone a delete button, you are one misclick away from losing something that took time to set up. In a single-user tool this is manageable: you know who deleted it because it was you. In a multi-admin panel it is more complicated. PurelyManage can have multiple sysadmin accounts. Any of them can delete email users, domains, and routing rules. The operations go directly to PurelyMail via their API, meaning the moment the request is made, the resource is gone. There is no recycle bin, no undo, no recovery path. ...

What PurelyManage is an open-source, self-hosted web UI for PurelyMail. PurelyMail is a paid email hosting service. It handles email well, but its account dashboard is minimal. If you are managing more than a handful of users or domains, you are either writing curl commands against their API or clicking through a basic web interface one action at a time. PurelyManage wraps that API and adds what is missing: a proper admin panel. ...
