Email glossary (hub)

This is the Mailflux glossary: all email terms in plain language, with a short explanation and a concrete example for each term. If you come across a word while setting up your mailbox or your email hosting, you'll quickly find here what it means and where to read on. Each term explains in one sentence what it's about, with an example and a link to a more detailed explanation or guide. Handy for quickly looking something up without having to wade through technical jargon.
