A mail client (alternatively known as webmail client, email client, or e-mail client; more formally known as mail user agent or MUA; hereinafter, the Client) is any digital construct that an end-user utilizes to compose, access, and/or manage his or her emails. On the other side, the Clients communicate with mail servers in order to receive emails from and/or send emails to.

The Client can also refer to mail client software. More broadly, email software may refer to all the software utilized for the Clients, mail servers, or mail exchangers.
