Hi X (Informal email)

Hi everyone!

I'd like to know how you'd normally punctuate the salutation of an email. I know there are no established rules for this; that's why I'm asking about your own experience.

Which of these are acceptable?

To a friend:

Hi John!
Hi, John!
Hi John,
Hi John.
Hi John:
Hi John

To a company / colleague / manager:

Dear X,
Dear X:
Dear X.
Dear X

Thanks a million!

Mara.
