Dovecote

Alright kiddo, do you know what a mailbox is? It's that thing outside your house where the mailman puts your letters and packages.

Well, imagine if you had lots and lots of mailboxes for lots and lots of people. And instead of paper letters and packages, they were emails. That's what Dovecot is - a big bunch of email mailboxes that your computer or phone can talk to, to get your emails.

But it's not just a big pile of mailboxes. Dovecot makes sure that only you can access your own mailbox and not someone else's. It also keeps your emails organized so you can easily find the one you want.

Think of Dovecot like a big fancy post office that helps everyone get their emails without anyone else seeing them.
