How it WorksJust as a letter makes stops at different
postal stations along its way, e-mail passes
from one computer, known as a mail server
to another as it travels over the Internet.
Once it arrives at the destination mailserver, it is stored in an electronic mailbox
until the recipient retrieves it.

How it WorksTo receive e-mail, you must have an
account on a mail server. This is similar to
having an address where you receive letters.
One advantage over regular mail is that you
can retrieve your e-mail from a remotelocation. Once you contact your mail server,
you can download your messages.

How it WorksWhen you send an e-mail message, yourcomputer sends it to an SMTP server. Theserver looks at the e-mail address (like theaddress on an envelope), then forwards it tothe recipient's mail server.
When the message is received at thedestination mail server, it is stored until theaddressee retrieves it.
