    Mail Server

    A mail server (or email server) is a computer


    system that sends and receives email.
    In many cases, web servers and mail servers are
    combined in a single machine.
    However, large ISPs and public email services
    (such as Gmail and Hotmail) may use dedicated
    hardware for sending and receiving email.
    In order for a computer system to function as a
    mail server, it must include mail server software.
     This software allows the system administrator to
    create and manage email accounts for any domains
    hosted on the server. For example, if the server hosts
    the domain name "techterms.com," it can provide
    email accounts ending in "@techterms.com.“.
     Mail servers send and receive email using standard
    email protocols. For example, the SMTP protocol
    sends messages and handles outgoing mail requests.
    The IMAP and POP3 protocols receive messages and
    are used to process incoming mail.
     When you log on to a mail server using a webmail
    interface or email client, these protocols handle all
    the connections behind the scenes.
    Mail server software
     Mail server software is available for multiple
    platforms. The most popular mail server for
    Windows is Microsoft Exchange Server, an
    enterprise product used by large businesses.
     However, many other options exist, including
    Ipswitch IMail Server, IceWarp Mail Server,
    MailEnable, and hMailServer.
     Popular Linux options include Exim for sending
    mail and Dovecot and Courier for receiving
    mail.
    SMTP

    • The SMTP protocol handles any outgoing mail


    requests and sends emails. So SMTP is short
    for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is the
    outgoing mail server. We can think of SMTP
    as moving your email on and across networks.
    Without it, your emails wouldn’t go anywhere.
    POP / IMAP

     For incoming mail servers, there are two main


    varieties — POP3 and IMAP.
     POP3 servers, short for Post Office Protocol
    version 3, are best known for fetching the
    content of the Inbox on your computer’s hard
    drive.
     IMAP servers, short for Internet Message
    Access Protocol, are used for o way
    synchronization of the entire mailbox.
    Here are some examples of the most common free email servers

    1 Gmail incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com


    Gmail outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
    2 Yahoo! incoming mail server:pop.mail.yahoo.com
    Yahoo! outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    3 AOL incoming mail server: imap.aol.com
    AOL outgoing mail server: smtp.aol.com
    domain name/ DNS
     A domain name is an identification string that defines a
    realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control
    within the Internet.
     A domain name is your website name. A domain name is the
    address where Internet users can access your website.
     A domain name is used for finding and identifying
    computers on the Internet.
     Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number.
    However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of
    numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed
    and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than
    using IP addresses.
     A domain name can be any combination of letters and
    numbers, and it can be used in combination of the
    various domain name extensions, such as .com, .net
    and more.
     The domain name must be registered before you can
    use it.
     Just like a physical address helps people find a specific
    place, the purpose of a domain is to help visitors find
    a website. Without domain names, users can only
    access websites using Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
     Every domain name is unique. No two websites can
    have the same domain name. If someone types in
    www.yourdomain.com, it will go to your website and
    no one else's.
    • A domain name is an essential part of having a
    website, but it's only part of the equation.
    • In order to launch a website, you'll also need
    content and a hosting service to store your
    files so they can be accessed on the internet.
    Remember that owning a domain does not
    mean hosting is also included.
    Examples of Domain Names
