Email protocols
A seperate system of protocils has been devised for use purely by email. an email protocl is a set of rules which allows computers to send and recieve emails from a network. there are three basic protcols used by emails.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
- The internet standard used for sending messages across IP networks in server-to-server transfers. also used by email users to send a message to an email server.
Post Office Protcol 3 (POP3)
- Used to retrieve emails from an email server ofer a TCP/IP connection. This is the most widely used email retrieval protocol. normally users downloads emails to their local computer using POP, deleting them from the email server.
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
- This is the other popular email retrieval protocol, normally users work on the emmails as they reside on the email server using IMAP and do not download them.
