Why it ranks here
Health score explained
DavMail scores 57/100, #3 of 3 in Communication - Email - Mail Delivery Agents: 300 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, 774 stars add 11.6 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the slowing band (40 to 69). The biggest shortfall is release recency, worth 25.0 more points.
