07 Seventh: how e-mail works

  • E-mail is a system for exchanging messages and data with specific users over the Internet using e-mail addresses.
  • An address has two parts separated by @: the mailbox (user) name, then the mail server's domain, e.g. student@school.edu.eg.

Flow of a message

  • The sender sends the message to his mail server with SMTP.
  • That server passes the message on to the recipient's mail server.
  • The recipient collects it with POP (download and delete from the server) or reads it with IMAP (view what is on the server, messages stay there and synchronise across devices).
  • Attachments ride as encoded parts of the message, which is why size limits apply to the whole message.
