Not that it needs confirming, but I can 2nd Jim's comments.
A few years back I did a 3 year contract at a very large telco. If you used
your telco provided email account (i.e. either cell phone/mobile device or
broadband) your email lives and is processed both by Sparc based Sun/Oracle
servers using (what ever is the current name is this year) the Sun/Oracle email
server.
It was a very interesting job. They had originally started using large SGI Irix
based systems (using a different email solution), then did a brief migration to
linux, then from linux to Solaris.
Although no longer in production by the time I arrived, this was the last point
in my career that I was able to used Silicon Graphics equipment.

Even Oracle doesn't offer mailserversolutions for Solaris.
Not quite true, the last I checked, Sun Mail Server (nee Netscape mail, then
Java CommSuite, now OCUCS) lives on and produces new versions.
My old job supported it for a number of ccustomers with my hands, a pretty good
product. Although in Oracle hands it is now only paid-for, and with a minimal
purchase baseline so it is aimed at providers or very large organizations.
Things are negotiatable but it is difficult.
