Fortunately the server went down very few times, but the last one lasted almost two daysand I lost a lot of mail on multiple mailboxes.Even though I work alone, it is still a business server and I can't afford these things.

I had read this page on replication, but I didn't understand how I can access the second server.Roundcube/Thunderbird are configured to access an IMAP / SMTP server that matchestheir respective IP addresses, but here the IPs would become 2x2 = 4

I already have Nginx as Reverse Proxy for Apache on my server.However, if I understand your suggestion, I should install a third server for this purpose only.Isn't there a guide to refer to?I wouldn't even know what to look for on Google?

Many thanksA.
