📄️ Overview
Stalwart Mail Server supports a comprehensive range of email protocols to accommodate diverse organizational needs and ensure compatibility with various email clients and devices. This includes support for the latest and preceding versions of the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) as well as the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3).
📄️ Protocol
The IMAP Protocol settings section covers the configuration parameters for the IMAP server. Some of these settings also apply to the POP3 server, as they share the same configuration structure. These parameters influence various aspects of the protocol's behavior, such as request handling, authentication and mailbox settings, and event processing.
📄️ Rate limiting
Rate limiting is a strategy to limit network traffic. As the name suggests, it puts a limit on how often someone can repeat an action (such as trying to log into an account) within a given time period. Rate limiting can help mitigate certain types of malicious activity such as brute force attacks. It is also useful to reduce the load on your mail server.
