Details: Protocol Inbox
The most common protocol inbox is the POP3
protocol. This protocol is used with email clients installed locally on
a computer. Using the protocol inbox POP3 protocol, the email
application can located the user’s email server, located incoming
messages, and then download them into the email client’s inbox. While
this protocol inbox is used for downloading messages into the inbox, a
different protocol is used to send messages: Simple Mail Transport
Protocol (SMTP). When a user sets up an email client, the incoming and
outgoing email servers must be specified. For incoming emails, the
protocol inbox setting will typically look something like “Incoming Mail
(POP3):”. For outgoing emails, the setting for the outgoing mail will
look something like “Outgoing Mail (SMTP):”. The addresses to these
servers are provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). These
server addresses are typically the same for each ISP subscriber. In
order for the protocol inbox to log into the server and download the
correct messages for the user, the user’s name and password must also be
programmed into the email client. Once all of the settings are properly
entered, the email client can communicate with the email server and
download messages into the user’s inbox.
