Emails are sort of like electric pulses that travel through optical mediums to their destination at the speed of light, therefore it should be instant.
However, when an e-mail leaves your computer it has to something like this:
Your computer
Your ISP (to get online)
Your SMTP (outgoing mail) server
The upstream provider
a few random computers along the way
Their upstream providers
Their POP (incoming mail) server
Their ISP to get to them
Your receivers computer
With all those computers in the way, your message could get slowed down anywhere. You are really in for a wait if it goes along the M11

This time of twelve months? No way! North is the position it is at in the course of the nice and comfy temperature months. I honestly were a snow chook for years, and function only provided that all and sundry as a lot as head to shchool. i'd be "stuck" actual interior the middle until eventually it is throughout.

The email must actully pass through multiple routers and then get transferred to the uplink server. After this it is transmitted to the downlink server n then to the receiver's pc. this should roughly take around 55 seconds for that small distance.

Email is instantaneous. Depending on current net traffic and how many nodes you have to go through it should not take more than 5 minutes max.

Usually it takes less than a minute from anywhere to anywhere. But if you are using your own smtp server and if it is not online/has any relay problem then it will be added to queue and will be transmitted later (when it comes online). But for all internet mail service providers like yahoo, gmail, it will take less than a minute.

Well, it travels at the speed of light. But add a bit for hold-ups.
