Electronic Mails (E-mail)
Electronic Mails (E-mail) - One of the most popular forms of business communication. Fast and inexpensive. Sent and received at any time.
How does it work?
1. Create and send message
2. Your software contacts ISP mail server.
3. Mail server determines best route
4. Mail server transfers message to PO3 server.
5. When e-mail software checks for e-mail messages, message transfers from POP3 server to recipient’s computer
• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): decides which paths your e-mail message takes.
• POP (Post Office Protocol): handles incoming messages.
• IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): used to retrieve messages from a server.
• MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions): specifies how to encode nontext data.
The destination mail server’s software handles the details of distributing the message locally. The mail server holds the new message, until the recipient’s computer requests the message. Mail client software, or an e-mail program, requests the mail server to deliver any stored mail to your PC.
A signature can formal or informal or a combination of both.
A formal signature usually includes the sender’s name, title, company name, company address, telephone number and email address.
An informal signature can include nicknames and graphics quotations that express a more casual style.
Full e-mail address consists of a user name, followed by @ and the host name. Host names are divided by a period, which is usually pronounced “dot.”
