    A mail server handles and delivers email over a network. It can receive emails from client computers and deliver them to other mail servers or directly to client computers. SMTP is used to send emails from a client to an SMTP server. POP3 and IMAP4 are protocols used to retrieve emails from a mail server and download them to a client. POP3 deletes emails from the server after downloading while IMAP4 leaves emails on the server. DNS is used to translate domain names into IP addresses so servers can properly route emails to recipients.

    MAIL SERVER

    PGDBT201911
    • A mail server (sometimes also referred to an e-mail server) is a server
    that handles and delivers e-mail over a network, usually over the
    Internet.
    • A mail server can receive e-mails from client computers and deliver
    them to other mail servers.
    • A mail server can also deliver e-mails to client computers.
    SMTP AND POP3 SERVER:
    When you press the "Send" button in your e-mail program (e-mail
    client) the program will connect to a server on the network / Internet
    that is called an SMTP server
    Web mails may use non-standard protocols internally, but all use
    SMTP when sending to or receiving email from outside their own
    systems.
    When you download e-mails to your e-mail program the program will
    connect to a server on the net that is known as a POP3(Post office
    Protocol) server
    POP3 clients connect, retrieve all messages, store them on the client
    computer, and finally delete them from the server
    IMAP4:
    IMAP4(Internet Message Access Protocol) is a further development
    of the POP3 protocol and is used to read e-mail from mail servers
    IMAP was designed with the goal of permitting complete
    management of an email box by multiple email clients, therefore
    clients generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly
    deletes them
    IMAP4 is not used as much as POP3, but many modern mail servers
    have support for IMAP4
    In IMAP4 the messages will be saved as a local copy
    SMTP is used as outbound and POP3 or IMAP4 is used as inbound
    • Step 1: After composing a message and hitting send, your email client - whether it's
    Outlook or Gmail - connects to your domain's SMTP server. This server can be named
    many things
    • Step 2: Your email client communicates with the SMTP server, giving it your email
    address, the recipient's email address, the message body and any attachments.
    • Step 3: The SMTP server processes the recipient's email address - especially its domain. If
    the domain is different, though, the SMTP server will have to communicate with the
    other domain's server.
    • Step 4: In order to find the recipient's server, the sender's SMTP server has to
    communicate with the DNS, or Domain Name Server. The DNS takes the recipient's email
    domain name and translates it into an IP address.
    The sender's SMTP server cannot route an email properly with a domain name alone; an
    IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every computer that is connected to the
    Internet.
    • Step 5: Now that the SMTP server has the recipient's IP address, it can connect to its
    SMTP server. This isn't usually done directly, though instead, the message is routed along
    a series of unrelated SMTP servers until it arrives at its destination.
    • Step 6: The recipient's SMTP server scans the incoming message. If it recognizes the
    domain and the user name, it forwards the message along to the domain's POP3 or IMAP
    server
