  •  Email Client

  •  Email Client
An email client is a computer program used to read and send electronic messages.

Figure 1: Email Client


What are the useful of email client?

The email client lets us read, organize and reply to messages as well as send new emails, of course.

To organize email, email clients typically offer folders (each message in one folder), labels (where you can apply multiple labels to each message) or both. A search engine lets you find messages by meta-data such as sender, subject or time of receipt as well as, often, the emails' full-text content.

In addition to email text, email clients also handle attachments, which lets you exchange arbitrary computer files (such as images, documents or spreadsheets) via email.

  •  Email 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.



How Does an Email Client Differ from an Email Server?

An email server transports and stores mail centrally, most usually for more than one user, sometimes millions.

An email client, by contrast, is what a single user like you interacts with. Typically, the client will download messages from the server for local use and upload messages to the server for delivery to its recipients.

2. Components in Email itself


  • Cc & Bc 
In e-mail terminology, Cc stands for "carbon copy" and Bccstands for "Blind carbon copy". The difference between Ccand Bcc is that carbon copy (CC) recipients are visible to all other recipients whereas those who are BCCed are not visible to anyone.

CC: Every one in the loop knows entire conversation.Usage: Keep the addressing person on To: and notofiying people in .

CC:BCC: Send message to a bunch of people, where each receiver can't able to know to whom all it was copied as well.Usage: Ask everyone a private opinion where each replies are directly sent only to you.

  • Spam
Email spam, also known as junk email, is a type of electronic spam where unsolicited messages are sent by email. Many email spam messages are commercial in nature but may also contain disguised links that appear to be for familiar websites but in fact lead to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware.

In this chapter we will learn several elements consisted in Connecting A Network which are type of cables, type of cable connector and elements in Network Hardware. A. Type of Cables: Coaxial Cable Coaxial cable is a type of copper cable specially built with a metal shield and other components engineered to block signal interference. It is primarily used by cable TV companies to connect their satellite antenna facilities to customer homes and businesses. It is also sometimes used by telephone companies to connect central offices to telephone poles near customers. Some homes and offices use coaxial cable, too, but its widespread use as an Ethernet connectivity medium in enterprises and data centers has been supplanted by the deployment of twisted pair cabling. Figure 1: Coaxial Cable Fiber Optic Cable An optical fiber cable, also known as fiber optic cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibre that are used to car...

In this subdivision chapter, we will learn type of wireless technology.  There are 5 type of wireless technology namely: Infra Red  Wireless local area networks (WLANs) , WiFi  Broadband wireless.  Bluetooth,  WiMax Infra Red Method of transferring data without the use of wires. A common example of aninfrared (Ir) device is a TV remote. However, infrared is also used with computersand devices like a cordless keyboard or mouse. The picture is an example of the Nintendo Wii remote and an example of an infrared device. Wireless local area networks (WLANs) , WiFi  A wireless LAN (or WLAN, for wireless local area network, sometimes referred to as LAWN, for local area wireless network) is one in which a mobile user can connect to a local area network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) connection. The IEEE 802.11 group of standards specify the technologies for wireless LANs. Figure 1: WLAN connection with other devices. Broadband...
