POP3 Post Office Protocol
SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
IMAP Internet Message Access Protocol
MIME* Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
Just as we have TCP/IP as a common protocol for Internet communication, there are common protocols to handlee-mail called:

IMAP's ability to access messages (both new and saved) from more than one computer has become extremely important as reliance on electronic messaging and use of multiple computers increase, but this functionality cannot be taken for granted: the widely used Post Office Protocol (POP) works best when one has only a single computer, since it was designed to support "offline" message access, wherein messages are downloaded and then deleted from the mail server. This mode of access is not compatible with access from multiple computers since it tends to sprinkle messages across all of the computers used for mail access. Thus, unless all of those machines share a common file system, the offline mode of access that POP was designed to support effectively ties the user to one computer for message storage and manipulation.

Note: The site to which we connect does NOT have to be the site from which we get our e-mail!
For example, I use Time-Warner Road Runner and check my e-mail at Buffalo State
or I could use my LAN connection at Buffalo State and check my e-mail at profsvet.com.
It all depends on how you configure your e-mail!

Usually there are two e-mail addresses associated with a discussion group:
the serverwith which you conduct business -subscribe/unsubscribe, list subscribers, etc.
the listto which you send and receive group messages
Note: you can also send an individual message to a group member.Note: you can also send an individual message to a group member.

What is a Newsgroup?
Like mailing lists, Newsgroups are another way to share information among Internet users via e-mail.

In a discussion group, messages sent to the group will be sent to all members of that group.
However, messages posted to a newsgroup will be sent to a news server where you can access them at will.

A place where newsgroups AND their messages are kept.
There are over 100,000 newsgroups world wide. Therefore, instead of being on one giant computer, the Newsgroups are distributed to many news servers.

How do I communicate with a news server?
© Anthony J. Nowakowski, Ph.D.

As we have seen with other Internet components, there are protocols (http, smtp, pop3, etc.) that are required in order to communicate between the server and the client. For newsgroups, the NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) is used.
