    SMTP

    E-mails are transferred across the Internet via

    Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

    The mail server uses SMTP to determine how to

    route the message through the Internet and

    then sends the message.

    When the message arrives at the recipient's

    mail server, the message is transferred to a

    POP3 server. POP stands forPost OfficeProtocol.

    The POP server holds the message until the

    recipient retrieves it with his/her email software.

    IMAP

    Another popular method by which users obtain their emails iscalled a central mail spool.

    Imagine what could happen if Peter where reading emails at hisoffice while his wife was simultaneously trying to read from thesame inbox from home.

    Lots of complication can arise in this scenario, and a protocol hasbeen designed to handle many of the relevant issues. It's called theInteractive Mail Access Protocol (IMAP).

    Peter's emails remain on his mail server. The emails are notbrought over to the computer from which he is working. That is,leaving the emails in a central location, and allowing access of theemails from several places.

    That is, when Peter wants to read his emails, he must send apassword to the mail server to authenticate himself.

    Another advantage of IMAP is that it encrypts passwords so thatsomeone sni f f ing the network cannot directly obtain his password.
