Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.
Evolution provides integrated mail, addressbook and calendaring functionality to users of the GNOME desktop.
KMail is the email component of Kontact, the integrated personal information manager of KDE.
Fetchmail is a full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet:

POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, ETRN, and ODMR. It can even support IPv6 and IPSEC.
Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it via SMTP, so it can then be read by normal mail user agents such as mutt, elm(1) or BSD Mail. It allows all your system MTA's filtering, forwarding, and aliasing facilities to work just as they would on normal mail.
Fetchmail offers better protection against password-sniffing than any other Unix remote-mail client. It supports APOP, KPOP, OTP, Compuserve RPA, Microsoft NTLM, an [Less]
Heirloom mailx (previously known as nail) is a mail user agent for Unix systems. Highlights are:
* Derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1. An interface like the original Berkeley one is still optionally available.
* Is a free implementation of the System V mailx command and features an interface like that by default.
Kolab is a Groupware Solution for Emails, Appointments, Contacts and more. It supports mixed client environments (Outlook/KDE) because of an open storage format. Any email client speaking standard protocols can be served.
gnu Mailutils contains a series of useful mail clients, servers, and libraries. These are the primary mail utilities of the GNU system. Specifically, this package contains a POP3 server, an IMAP4 server, and a Sieve mail filter. It also provides a

POSIX `mailx' client, and a collection of other tools. The central library is capable of accessing different mailbox formats and mailers as well as off of local or remote POP3 and IMAP4 servers.
Why use this package?
This package started off to try and handle large mailbox files more gracefully then current POP3 servers did. While it handles this task, it also allows you to support a variety of different mailbox formats without any real effort on your part. Also, if a new format is added at a later date, your program will support that new forma [Less]

Mailster is a project aimed at testing software mail capabilities. It provides a mail server container to test emails sent by your apps without rewriting your application code.
Postmaster implements an ESMTP server. Given a configuration, it starts up and listens for incoming SMTP connections, handles them, and pipes the accepted e-mail messages into an arbitrary local mailer of your choice. A good local mailer is Procmail.

Beyond that, you can configure and modify every little step of the SMTP transaction. All the real work is done through call-back functions. [Less]
PyMailt is an email transport written for XMPP/Jabber written in Python/xmpppy. It provides a mechanism for XMPP users to send and receive email.
Emails are sent via local SMTP, and are received from a local maildir.
The goal of the ActionScript 3 mail library is to provide easy access to mail protocols such as SMTP and POP3.

So far, the following has been done: Stateful SMTP support (EHLO, MAIL, RCPT, DATA, RSET, QUIT) The Internet Message Format (RFC 2822) has been largely implemented Documentation generated for all public classes Initial import of both the source and documentation has been done, all progress so far is available under Source
Next up: Implementation of MIME POP3 support
Key aspects used in the development of this libraryStandards compliant implementation of the supported protocols (RFC 1939, RFC 2821 and RFC 2822) All code must follow the ActionScript 3 Coding Conventions set by Adobe Use of design patterns and OO best practices Documented using the ASDoc tool [Less]
With support for all the basic SMTP commands, php-smtp is an easily deployed and managed SMTP server built in PHP.
CrossPoint (XP) ist ein textorientiertes Mail- und Newsprogramm ursprünglich für verschiedene Mailboxnetze wie das Z-Netz, FidoNet, UUCP-basierte Netze wie z.B. das ehemalige Individual-Net und das MausNet. Genauer: es ist ein "Point-Programm"

CrossPoint beherrscht selbstverständlich auch Internet Mail und News.
Im Dezember '99 hat der Autor Peter Mandrella den Quellcode von CrossPoint 3.20ß freigegeben. Eine veröffentlichte Version von CrossPoint v3.20 hat es jedoch von ihm nicht gegeben.
CrossPoint ist ein eingetragenes Warenzeichen von Peter Mandrella, daher darf der Name nicht für die Nachfolgeprogramme verwendet werden. [Less]
GNU Anubis is an SMTP message submission daemon.
RFCMail is a collection of Perl modules which can be used to implement a number of mail-related things, such as SMTP honeypots for spam analysis. Its core business is that of an MTA, so most of the modules relate to SMTP in some way. It does not

major in message text handling or message store (mailbox) management. The author has chosen to re-implement the core SMTP functionality, rather than re-use existing implementations, so as to allow much greater flexibility in how SMTP is handled.
At this particular point in time, it has a fully functional SMTP server which is capable of acting as an SMTP honeypot. This may prove of some interest to those conducting anti-spam research. Although much of the existing functionality is clean and well documented, the overall project is still a shambles, undergoing significant restructuring as new and better ways of structuring the code are discovered. It has not settled down into a pattern that can be released and maintained, so it is currently only suitable for ad hoc tasks, not as the basis for long-term software products.
The ultimate project goal is to produce a library of parts capable of implementing a fully functional mail server (MTA) with a very large degree of flexibility. This flexibility should make it possible to experiment with bleeding-edge anti-spam techniques and mail delivery protocols. Perl is well-suited as a base language for this purpose, since it allows rapid development and easy combination of modules to form a useful whole. On the other hand, the project is not expected to suit the needs of those who just need an ordinary, solid MTA that scales well (although the project owner will be quite happy if this end can be met).
This project also aims to set extremely high (to the point of fastidious) standards in code and documentation quality, and standards compliance.
This project has only just been migrated to Google Code (from origins as a private project), and a significant amount of work remains to be done before the project will be accommodating to prospective users and contributors. It also remains to be seen how much time the project owner can dedicate to this task! At the moment, the suggested way to introduce yourself to it is to check out the trunk, then read the documentation in pm/RFCMail/ESMTP/Server.pod. Also, look at bin/honeypot-smtpd.pl for a simple but useful application (which can be launched from inetd or similar if desired). Note that this application requires the well-known Net::DNS module.
