[RCU] Welcome / requesting advise on migrating to new server

[Jari Fredriksson]

The components for a system:

MTA: Exim, Postfix or Sendmail
- used to send mail. It receives mail from Internet and sends mail to 
Internet

IMAP server: Dovecot or Courier server
- used to read mail by an email client

Mail client: Mozilla Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Roundcube
- used to handle mail by user. It connects to IMAP or POP when reading 
mail, and to MTA when it sends mail

Database: Postgres, MySQL/MariaDB, Oracle etc.
- used to store settings of Roundcubemail, if in use.

Cheers,

jarif
