Email management and protocols.
Hello, everyone, in this section, we're going to hello, everyone in this section.
We're going to talk about the email protocols and why they are that important.
So basically, I want to meet you here with a different type of techniques that are used to exchange
emails between sender and receiver, something that you don't quite often think about, but is sending
an email over the web is quite a complex thing to do.
So there are few protocols that the Web is using in order to send e-mail from senator receiver.
And luckily, Python also has some libraries with which you can actually control and design the email,
send it no matter with what type of provider you have your email, either Google, Yahoo and so on.
So, you know, quite often the users use a graphical user interface in order to send and receive emails.
This interfaces could be the ones such as, let's say, the Microsoft Outlook, MOSIUOA and so on.
And even more today, actually, most of us are receiving e-mails over the Web with providers such as
Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and so on.
So when you send an email, it is sent from a client interface through a series of specialized email
services, and it is usually sent by a software code mail transfer aid agent.
So the main job of the mail transfer agent is to simply find a way from the sender and deliver it to
the receiver of that message.
So for that reason, we're going to talk in this section for the different protocols used to exchange
emails.
And we are going to complete some tasks with which I'm going to show specifically how we can send email
from your old mail address to the terminal.
And in that way, you can actually automate the email sending over the Web.
We're going to talk today for the Assante protocol, which is usually used exactly for email transfer
and also for a file transfer between the host and to the outer.
We're also going to talk about the post office protocol three or three, which is basically used as
standardised way to download messages from your mailbox on your local copy and finally will concentrate
on the IMAP, which is the most common way and actually is used by all the emails out there, such as
Gmail, Yahoo!
And so on.
And it actually provides a standardized way for you to access your mailbox from the Web or from the
Internet service provider.
OK, so all of these protocols are using graphical user interface and they help you basically to send,
receive, save and check your emails from the web in this whole process is called mail transfer agent,
or this is basically the way that all these services are working together in order to improve your mailing
experience.
So each of those components who are going to test here separately so you can see how they work and get
a little bit more of an experience and Hands-On on how to write such a cold.
So that's it.
Guys, thanks very much for watching this introduction of this very interesting section.
And I assume in the next video where we're going to put our hands and start learning the EMT protocol.
Thanks for watching.
