List of mail server software

 This is a list of mail server software: mail transfer agents, mail delivery agents, and other computer software which provide e-mail.

Product statistics[edit]

All such figures are necessarily estimates because data about mail server share is difficult to obtain; there are few reliable primary sources—and no agreed methodologies for its collection.

Surveys probing Internet-exposed systems typically attempt to identify systems via their banner, or other identifying features;[1] and report Postfix and exim as overwhelming leaders in March 2021, with greater than 92% share between them.[1]

Comparison of mail servers

  The   comparison of mail servers   covers   mail transfer agents ,   mail delivery agents , and other   computer software   that provide   e-mail   services. Unix -based mail servers are built using a number of components because a Unix-style environment is, by default, a  toolbox [1]  operating system. A stock Unix-like server already has internal mail; more traditional ones also come with a full  MTA  already part of the standard installation. To allow the server to send external emails, an MTA such as  Sendmail ,  Postfix , or  Exim  is required. Mail is read either through direct access ( shell  login) or mailbox protocols like  POP  and  IMAP . Unix based MTA software largely acts as enhancement or replacement of the respective system's "native" MTA. Microsoft Windows  servers do not natively implement email. Windows-based MTAs therefore have to cover the whole set of ema...

Internet Message Access Protocol

  In computing, the   Internet Message Access Protocol   ( IMAP ) is an   Internet standard   protocol   used by   email clients   to retrieve   email   messages from a   mail server   over a   TCP/IP   connection. [2]   IMAP is defined by   RFC   9051 . IMAP was designed with the goal of permitting complete management of an  email box  by multiple email clients, therefore clients generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. An IMAP server typically listens on  port number  143. IMAP over  SSL/TLS  ( IMAPS ) is assigned the port number 993. [3] [4] Virtually all modern e-mail clients and  servers  support IMAP, which along with the earlier  POP3  (Post Office Protocol) are the two most prevalent standard protocols for email retrieval. [5]  Many  webmail  service providers such as  Gmail  and...

Email

Email From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search "Reply all" redirects here. For the podcast, see  Reply All (podcast) . For the former company, see  Email Limited . This screenshot shows the "Inbox" page of an  email client ; users can see new emails and take actions, such as reading, deleting, saving, or responding to these messages. The  at sign , a part of every SMTP  email address [1] When a "robot" on  Wikipedia  makes changes to image files, the uploader receives an email about the changes made. . Electronic mail  ( email  or  e-mail ) is a method of exchanging messages ("mail") between people using electronic devices. Email was thus conceived as the  electronic  ( digital ) version of, or counterpart to,  mail , at a time when "mail" meant only physical mail (hence  e-  + mail ). Email later became a ubiquitous (very widely used) communication medium, to the point that in curr...
