Electronic Mail or Email is a popular means of communication
these days as it enables messages to be sent instantly to any part of the
world. An email address is required to be able to use email. An address is
either provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a free service
website.
Servers play a vital role in Internet communications. A
server is a fast, high powered computer or computers that have large amounts of
data storage. The main function of a server is to store data and then send that
information to users when requested. Servers are designed according to their
function. Some of the common types of servers are email servers, DNS servers,
ISP servers and web servers. These servers work together to make up the
backbone of the Internet and permit communications with it.
Email travels over the Internet from server to server. The
email server of the sender will use the email address of the recipient to
forward the email to the receiver’s email server.
ISP Based Email And
Free Email
The ISP’s name is typically part of the address assigned to
each email account per customer. An ISP email can be accessed with a client
program that is installed on the computer of the user. Examples of programs
designed for this purpose are Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, and QUALCOMM.
Free email service is offered by search engines and websites
like yahoo, gmail and hotmail, to name a few. Email accounts on these sites are
completely web based and accessible through web browsers.
