2 Email Introduction
2.1
Introduction
Electronic mail (email or e-mail) is a method of exchanging messages ("mail") between people using
electronic devices. Invented by Ray Tomlinson, email first entered limited use in the 1960s and by the
mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email. Email operates across computer networks, which
today is primarily the Internet. Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be
online at the same time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based on a
store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages. Neither the users nor
their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a
mail server or a webmail interface for as long as it takes to send or receive messages or to download it.
text-only communications medium,
Originally an ASCII
Internet email was extended by Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) to carry text in other character sets and multimedia content attachments.
International email, with internationalized email addresses using UTF-8(which you can send Chinese email
body), has been standardized, but as of 2017 it has not been widely adopted.
The history of modern Internet email services reaches back to the early ARPANET, with standards for
encoding email messages published as early as 1973 (RFC 561). An email message sent in the early
1970s looks very similar to a basic email sent today.
2.2
Email Address
The format of an email address consists of three parts: User identifier + @ + domain name
The first part "USER" represents the account of the user's mailbox. For the same mail receiving server, this
account must be unique;
The second part "@" is a separator. @ is the symbol of "at", which means "at".
The third part is the domain name of the mail receiving server of the user mailbox.
The domain_name here is the identifier of
the mail
destination to which the mail must be delivered. Somebody is the email address on the domain. The suffix
generally represents the nature of the domain name and the region code. The domain name is really

technically a mail switch, not a machine name.
2.3
Email Protocol
There are several common email protocols: SMTP, POP3, IMAP. These several protocols are defined by
the TCP / IP protocol family.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): SMTP is mainly responsible for how the underlying mail system
transfers mail from one machine to another. The normal and startSSL port is 25, and the SSL port is 465.
POP (Post Office Protocol): The version is POP3. POP3 is a protocol for transmitting mail from an email box
to a local computer. The normal port is 110, and the SSL port is 995, no startSSL.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): The version is IMAP4, which is an alternative protocol to POP3.
It provides new functions of mail retrieval and mail processing, so that users can see the summary of the
title of the mail without downloading the body of the mail. The client software can operate on the mail and
folder directories on the server. The IMAP protocol enhances the flexibility of e-mail, and also reduces the
direct harm of spam to the local system, and at the same time saves users the time to check the e-mail. In
addition, the IMAP protocol can remember the user's operations on the mail in the offline state (such as
moving mail, deleting mail, etc.) will be automatically executed the next time the network connection is
opened. The normal port is 143, and the SSL port is 993, no startSSL.
Support for SSL connections is integrated into most popular email client programs.
In addition, many encryption technologies are also applied to the sending and receiving and reading of
e-mail. They can provide encryption strengths ranging from 128 to 2048 bits. Both unidirectional and
symmetric key encryption are widely supported
