Email Protocols
Mail servers are networked computers that manage your mailbox. ISP server administrators limit the number and size of messages that you can send or receive, as well as how much space is available in your mailbox. A server handles incoming messages by using one of three standards, or protocols. (Your ISP can tell you which protocol it uses.)A POP3 server (the most common type) transfers your messages to your hard drive before you read them and then deletes its server copies. You save, manage, delete, and back up messages yourself.An IMAP server lets you read, delete, and search your messages while they're still on the server. Then you can choose which messages to download to your hard drive. If your server mailbox reaches its capacity, incoming messages bounce back to their senders.An HTTP server, such as Gmail, Yahoo!, or Hotmail, lets you send, receive, and manage your email with any web browser. (Messages remain on the server.) If your server mailbox reaches its capacity, incoming messages are thrown away, often with a warning and a sales pitch for a higher-capacity premium account.SMTP servers handle outgoing messages.
