Unraveling the Mechanism of Email, “Mail Server” Free Material

A design where a cylindrical server (or hard disk) and a letter envelope are connected by a line. This expresses “the state where mail is stored on the server” and “the mechanism by which mail is sent and received via the server.” It is an ideal diagram part for intuitively explaining the functions of invisible communication infrastructure and mail hosting services even to users without technical knowledge.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This icon is active in a wide range of situations related to email systems, from function lists of rental servers to technical documents for internal SEs.

• For Mail Software Configuration and Manual Creation
  When setting up mail software like Outlook or Thunderbird, as a diagram explaining the difference between “POP3 (download from server)” and “IMAP (manage on server).” By using it as an icon of a line connecting a PC and a server, you can visually explain where the mail data is located.
• For “Feature Introduction” in Rental Servers and Hosting
  As an icon appealing features like “Unlimited email addresses” and “Large capacity mailbox.” The pairing of a server and mail conveys that it is a service that can be entrusted with not only website display but also email operation.
• For System Configuration Diagrams and Infrastructure Design Diagrams
  In network configuration diagrams, as a symbol to indicate the position of the “mail server (SMTP/POP server)” distinguishing it from Web servers and DB servers. In technical drawings, it functions as a standard symbol to clarify roles.
• For Guidance on Mail Archiving and Backup
  As a visual introducing archive functions that “automatically save sent and received mail to the server” and log saving services for audit compliance. The design connected to the hard disk evokes permanent “preservation and recording.”
• For Failure Reports and Maintenance Notices
  As an alert icon notifying “Mail server under maintenance” or “Occurrence of reception delays.” By making the connection line (link) dotted or adding an X mark (*editing required), you can easily communicate the status of communication troubles.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

The distribution files include PNG and SVG formats convenient for web production, as well as the EPS format of vector data suitable for DTP design and advanced editing.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can freely customize the “connection state” to match the content you want to explain. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, changing the line connecting the server and mail to an “arrow” allows you to clearly indicate the direction of “Reception (Download)” or “Transmission (Upload).”
It is also possible to make the server color “blue” to create a sense of trust, or “red” to express a high-load state. If you increase the number of mail envelopes to multiple, it can also be applied as an icon for a “mail magazine delivery server” or “mailing list,” greatly expanding the range of expression.
