sound, video, programs …)
Examples: Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.
Advantages of E-mail software:
The advantage of E-mail software is that it is usually faster to interact with your e-mail, plus you can do it
offline. It allows you to manage many email accounts at the same moment

Basicaly, a protocol is about a standard method used at each end of a communication
channel, in order to properly transmit information. In order to deal with your email you
must use a mail client to access a mail server. The mail client and mail server can
exchange information with each other using a variety of protocols.
IMAP Protocol: IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) – Is a standard protocol for
accessing e-mail from your local server. IMAP is a client/server protocol in which e-mail is
received and held for you by your Internet server. As this requires only a small data transfer this
works well even over a slow connection such as a modem. Only if you request to read a specific
email message will it be downloaded from the server. You can also create and manipulate
folders or mailboxes on the server, delete messages etc. see also IMAP.org
POP3 Protocol: The POP (Post Office Protocol 3) protocol provides a simple, standardized
way for users to access mailboxes and download messages to their computers. see also POP3
Description (RFC)
SMTP Protocol: The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) protocol is used by the Mail
Transfer Agent (MTA) to deliver your eMail to the recipient's mail server. The SMTP protocol
can only be used to send emails, not to receive them. Depending on your network / ISP settings,
you may only be able to use the SMTP protocol under certain conditions (see incoming and outgoing
mail servers. see also SMTP RFC
HTTP Protocol: The HTTP protocol is not a protocol dedicated for email communications,
but it can be used for accessing your mailbox. Also called web based email, this protocol can be
used to compose or retrieve emails from an your account. Hotmail is a good example of using
HTTP as an email protocol.
