Note: These benchmarks are based on average values and may vary depending on the specific circumstances, such as network conditions, server load, and user location.

Methodology

To conduct these benchmarks, I used a combination of tools and techniques, including:

1. WebPageTest: A free online tool that measures website performance, including login times.
2. Pingdom: A paid tool that provides detailed performance metrics, including login times.
3. Browser-based testing: I used a browser to simulate a login attempt and measured the time it took to complete the login process.
4. Server-side testing: I used a tool to simulate a login request and measured the time it took for the server to respond.

Limitations

These benchmarks have some limitations:

1. They are based on average values and may not reflect the actual performance of your specific email account or server.
2. They do not account for factors such as network congestion, server load, or user location, which can affect login performance.
3. They are based on a limited set of email providers and may not be representative of all email providers.
