An email driver is a software component that allows applications to send and receive email messages. It acts as an interface between the application and the email server, and allows the application to communicate with the server using a standard protocol such as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).
Email drivers are commonly used to send automated email notifications, send emails, confirmation emails or password reset emails to users.
