E-mail address:
Short for electronic mail, the transmission of messages over
communications networks. The messages can be notes entered from
the keyboard or electronic files stored on disk. Most mainframes,
minicomputers, and computer networks have an e-mail system.
Some electronic-mail systems are confined to a single computer
system or network, but others have gateways to other computer
systems, enabling users to send electronic mail anywhere in
the world. Companies that are fully computerized make extensive
use of e-mail because it is fast, flexible, and reliable.
POP3:
Short for Post Office Protocol, a protocol used to retrieve
e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail applications (sometimes
called an e-mail client) use the POP protocol, although some
can use the newer IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).
There are two versions of POP. The first, called POP2, became
a standard in the mid-80's and requires SMTP to send messages.
The newer version, POP3, can be used with or without SMTP.
SMTP:
(pronounced as separate letters) Short for Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers.
Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP
to send messages from one server to another; the messages can
then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or
IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from
a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify
both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure
your e-mail application.
My domain (Domain name):
A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example,
the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses.
Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages.
For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html,
the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.
Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level
domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number
of such domains. For example:
• gov - Government agencies
• edu - Educational institutions
• org - Organizations (nonprofit)
• mil - Military
• com - commercial business
• net - Network organizations
• ca - Canada
• th - Thailand
Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names,
every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server
to translate domain names into IP addresses.
Your domain name is your web address without the www. For example:
yahoo.com
