how does the process of sending and receiving mail works?

Here is the process when using a mail client such as Outlook Express.\n\nWhen you send a message it is transferred from your mail client (e.g. Outlook Express) to the server using SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.  SMTP is designed for sending messages.\n\nYou can get a feel for how this works by sending mail using the telnet procotol.  Check out the first link.  It's a good testing method for system administrators.\n\nNow that the server has the message, it must deliver it to the recipient's mail server.  Obviously it needs the address.  It determines this using the domain name portion of the email address.  For example for user@yahoo.com the domain is yahoo.com.\n\nComputers don't really "talk" using the friendly names that we do like yahoo.com.  Each computer has a number called an IP address.  That's where DNS comes in.  It translates friendly names to IP addresses.  What's more, there is a special DNS record for mail servers called an MX record.  So in short, the next step is to get the IP address of the recipient's mail server by querying DNS for the domain's MX record.\n\nYou can see this in action.  Open a command prompt and enter "nslookup -querytype=mx yahoo.com" and you'll see a list of IP addresses for Yahoo's mail servers.\n\nOnce the server has the IP address it again uses SMTP to send the message to the recipient's mail server.\n\nFinally the recipient uses POP or Post Office Protocol to retrieve the message.  POP simply downloads emails.\n\nDone!

A mail server is a computer with a program that knows how to handle mailboxes, sending and receiving mail.\n\nPOP is now only POP3 (POP, version 3); it's the protocol that allows you to download mail from a mail server.  \nSMTP is the protocol that allows you to send mail to a mail server.\nHTTP mail is not really mail at all; it's just an interface, a program that transforms what you enter into a SMTP message to send, or is able to read POP3 to display to you the contents of your mailbox.

you might need to configure your incomming and outgoing e mail in your settings. The thing is i am trying to figure out the incomming and outgoing pop & smtp too

It's hard to know where to start on this one. this is a broad and complex topic that depends on knowledge of things like the OSI model, TCP/IP model, switching, routing, routing protocols, among others. \n\nI'll try to tackle this from a high level:\n\nThe information being transmitted includes the actual file/message, plus "headers." Headers are like instructions telling the network who is sending the file and where it needs to go. There are different types of headers for different layers of the network. \n\nThe information starts at the source computer, then goes from device to device until it finally reaches the destination computer. Along the way switches are using the Layer 2 headers to determine where to send the file, and routers are using Layer 3 headers to determine where to send the file. Once the destination computer receives the file, it strips away the headers and the computer uses the appropriate application to open the file for the intended recipient.\n\nMetaphorically speaking, it's like a letter and the post office. Someone writes a letter. They put the letter in an envelope, then put their return address on it. Then they put the destination address on it. The post office takes the letter, and they stamp all sorts of weird bar codes and lines all over the envelope, and these things tell the post office where to send the letter. Finally a postal worker at the tail end takes the letter around on his route and puts it in the right mailbox. The recipient opens the envelope and reads the letter. Neither sender nor recipient cares about the envelope or the route used, all they care about is whether the intended recipient got the letter intact.

Please include what software you use to read and recieve mails.Assume you can receive email but cannot send. \nLook for an IT expert to configure your POP/SMTP for you or use control panel for Window.\nSwitch to http based emails like Yahoo! mails or Hotmail\nsidenote: add more details what methods have you tried.what software you used,but not too much though :)

The mail is sorted in store and then taken to a distribution centre. It is then transferred to a main sorting centre. It is sorted by zip/post code and then transport is started by truck.

It is by using some email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird etc. You can also configure your outlook and do the same. I thnk now yahoo is also offering the same feature using photo mail.

Set up Message Rules (Tools, Message Rules, Mail)\n\nThat way the mail can be sorted by sender, subject, addressee, etc or with keywords.\n\nHave a play!!

Hi there, its a very simple process. If you are using a Outlook then you could look at this following site for detailed instructions - http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/email/attachments.html\n\nAlso check this site too which will help you send attachments via free mails (gmail, yahoomail, hotmail, etc) - http://libwww.cabrillo.edu/about/workshops/howsendattachments.html\n\nThe process is pretty much the same. You need to remember a few things:\n\nMost free mail addresses allow a limited file size and it varies with the service provider. So sometimes if an attachment cannot be sent then it could be because of the huge file size.\n\nAlso, nowadays many email services (free)like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo are blocking potentially harmful types of files from being attached (most common is .exe) to prevent the spread of viruses.

The first thing is to create an insert symbol\n\nthen create a database of your 'mail recepients'\n\nthen do a mail merge\n\ndone!

There are basically two types of mail services - \n1. POP \n2. IMAP \n\nPOP mails are not accessible from any other computer. But IMAP are Internet based mails and can be accessed anywhere.
