How e-mail works?


There are two servers on a single machine, one send e-mails and other receives. One is Called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol which handles outgoing messages. The other is Called POP3 where POP stands for post office protocol which handles incoming messages.When an e-mail is sent, e-mail client interacts with  SMTP to handle the sending.
