The time difference in email delivery speed measured in seconds, at which email clients receive emails can vary depending on several factors, including the email service provider, the email client software, the user’s internet connection, and the email server’s performance. However, there is a general estimate of the delivery speed for some popular email clients:
Email Client | Delivery Speed | Technology/Protocols | Security |
Gmail | Near real-time email delivery; delivered within seconds to a minute or two of being sent. | By default, Gmail uses a technology called “push email,” IMAP, POP3, SMTP. | SSL/TLS encryption, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). |
Outlook | Delivered in near real-time, often within seconds of being sent. | Similar to Gmail, it uses push email technology, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, Exchange ActiveSync, and MAPI for connecting to Exchange servers. | SSL encryption and integration with Microsoft’s security services. |
Thunderbird | Delivered within minutes, some email servers may support push email for real-time delivery. | IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. | SSL/TLS encryption and customizable security settings. Additional security can be added through add-ons |
Apple Mail | Usually arriving within seconds to a minute or two of being sent. | IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. | Integrates with the Apple ecosystem, benefiting from the security measures and encryption used in macOS and iOS. |
Spark | Emphasizes real-time notifications, and email delivery is generally efficient, often within seconds to a few minutes. | IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync for email retrieval and SMTP for sending emails. | SSL/TLS encryption and integration with Touch ID/Face ID for device security. |
BlueMail | Varies based on the email server and sync intervals. With frequent syncs, emails can be delivered within minutes. | IMAP, SMTP, and Exchange ActiveSync. | SSL/TLS encryption, and it adheres to security standards. |
Please note that these are general estimates, and the actual delivery speed can be influenced by various factors, including network latency, server performance, and the specific email servers involved.
