press "send"

Answer 2

Ok, you write your email and then you enter the email address of the person you are sending it to, the recipient, say at [e-mail]

Now, when you click send, the computer that is sending the email, you, sends a signal to the '.UK' server, asking if it is there. If the server is working, it sends a signal back saying it is.

So, then 'you' send another message to the UK server asking if it is connected to the '.AC' server. It is, so sends the message back saying it is.

A message is then sent to the AC server, (through the UK server) asking if it is connected to the '.University' server and so on and so forth until it has confirmed that the recipient email address exists and where it is.

Now, the email is then split into packets to be sent to the recipient. Basically, the email si split in to sections to be sent, like cutting it in to a jigsaw which can be put back together at the other end.

The email is then sent and the pieces, that would arrive in any order, for example, BDCA, is arranged to say ABCD by markers that say which part it is and in which order.

The email is sent!

If anything goes wrong during any of this, results in a error messages such as "address not found" or the email arriving with bits missing.

Answer 3

Email is the sending of message between two or more computers. Think of your email like a letter. This letter needs to be move from one address to another.

As special system was developed specifically for this, before the world wide web the internet was orginally created to transfer messages and files.

On your computer you have an email client (such as Outlook Express, Outlook 2003, Thunderbird etc..). These are programs that have been developed to connect to a mail server and recieve an email and then display is correctly, or to send an email to a mail server in the right format.

When you create an email you give it an address, normally the persons name and then their domain (name@domain). The email client packages your message with extra information called headers, that provide information such as where it is going and who it is from. This email is then sent to a SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol ) mail server (think of this as a post box and the sorting office) which then forwards the message to other mails servers/routers until it reaches the final mail server connected to the domain indicated in the email address...this final server is a POP (post office protocol) mail server. The POP server is like your letter box.

Your email is stored on the part of the POP server (current version POP3) associated with your account until you switched on your email client. The email client then does a 'send/receive' operation where it sends a message to the POP server and asks for any mail belonging to you. The POP server then transfers any email to your client, where you can then read them.

Online accounts - such a yahoo, hotmail - work in the same way except the 'client' is a web page interface instead of a local program.
