# Email Servers
Email servers are specialized servers that facilitate the sending, receiving, and storage of email messages. They handle the behind-the-scenes tasks involved in email communication, ensuring that emails are reliably delivered and stored until recipients access them.
PanelAlpha currently supports Mailcow email server and cPanel as an independent webmail server.
# List of servers
Navigate to Configuration → Servers → Email Servers. Here you will find an overview of the email servers configuration section. Specific details on the server types can be found in the dedicated sections under Email Server Connections.
# Server synchronization
The Email Server synchronization allows to import existing email domains into PanelAlpha. Please keep in mind that you can import email domains only for existing services with corresponding domains. Importing an email domain is not possible if a domain has not yet been created under a service.
