# Product

product

## Users

AkurAI Mail operators managing a self-hosted mail server for `olibuijr.com`. They use the interface during administrative work: checking service health, managing mailboxes and aliases, reviewing DNS expectations, and moving between admin and webmail surfaces.

## Product Purpose

AkurAI Mail provides a minimal, auditable control plane for the mail VM. Success means an operator can trust the service state at a glance, make routine changes without guessing, and recover quickly from a bad deployment.

## Brand Personality

Precise, quiet, technical.

## Anti-references

Avoid marketing-site composition, oversized decorative cards, purple gradients, glass panels, novelty controls, and empty dashboards that hide operational state.

## Design Principles

- Operational truth first: show real service, mailbox, DNS, and VM state instead of placeholder staging data.
- Dense but readable: prioritize scan speed without crowding touch targets.
- One platform language: admin, login, and webmail must share navigation, color, typography, and control vocabulary.
- Recovery is part of the product: backup and rollback paths must be visible in the repository and used by deployment.
- Familiar controls win: standard forms, tables, charts, and navigation over custom affordances.

## Accessibility & Inclusion

Target WCAG AA contrast, keyboard-operable controls, visible focus states, 44px minimum touch targets, and layouts without horizontal overflow on mobile.
