How email work
1)Alice composed a message using her Mail
User Agent (MUA), and hits "send"
2)Her MUA looks at the message, and makes
any changes needed these changes allow
Alice's Mail Submission Agent(MSA) TO
understand the message, smtp.google.com
These are servers which you can send messages
through but not access. The MSA looks at the
to email address, and decides where to send
the message
4)The MSA looks up live.com on a Domain
Name Server(DNS). The DNS tells the MSA that
live.com has an incoming email server called
incoming.live.microsoft.com
5)The USA then send the message to username
: Zach Copper at server:
incoming.live.microsoft.com
6)Zach then tells his MUA to get new message
from the server. This request, and the delivery
of the any messages, is handled by a protocol
called Post Office Protocol3(POP3) or Internet
Message Access Protocol(IMAP)
