Hi,
Problem
Release version of the operating system on this server is unsupported by
iRedMail, please access below link to get the latest iRedMail and a list
of supported Linux/BSD distributions and release versions.

since Linux Mint 19 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, why the error above showing?

Thank you

Re: Unable to install operating system not supported

- We didn't test iRedMail on Mint at all, there's no guarantee it will work well - you have been warned.
- You can try original Ubuntu instead if you don't mind.
- If you insist in giving Mint another try, here's the trick:

iRedMail checks few parameters in file /etc/lsb-release:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=                # it should be 18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=            # it should be bionic

if you have these parameters and required values, iRedMail will consider this is a Ubuntu 18.04.
