how SMTP Protocol and Local Mail Delivery Works?

Hi there! In this video, you’ll learn what SMTP is and how it works.

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. While POP and IMAP are protocols that allow you to retrieve email from a mail server, SMTP is the protocol that allows you to send email to a mail server. Specifically, the SMTP protocol is used to send email from an email client to your email provider’s mail server, and to send email between two mail servers on the Internet.

When you use a free email provider, your email address uses their domain name and in turn they allow you to use their email servers.

If you use their webmail site to read and send email, they handle the email server settings that direct your incoming and outgoing emails.
