Dovecot Community Edition (CE) ​

Dovecot is an open source email server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.

Dovecot supports the IMAP (RFC 3501), POP3 (RFC 1939), LMTP (RFC 2033), and ManageSieve (RFC 5228) mail protocols.

Dovecot Pro is a commercial software product of Open-Xchange.
