Email Client
An email client is a software application that allows users to send, receive, and manage email messages from one or more email accounts. It typically provides features like message composition, inbox organization, contact management, and integration with email servers using protocols such as IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. Common examples include desktop applications, web-based interfaces, and mobile apps.
Developers should learn about email clients to integrate email functionality into applications, such as sending notifications, handling user communications, or automating email workflows. This is essential for building features like password resets, marketing campaigns, or customer support systems in web and mobile apps. Understanding email protocols and client configurations helps in debugging email-related issues and ensuring reliable delivery.
