How E-mail Works
Which Way Is The Best
The server now locate the destination for the email. It's time to select the best,
the least busy and most efficient cyber highways for the email packets. After select
the route, the server send the email packets at once.
Along The Way
Actually, the email packets are sent from computer to computer on the internet along it's
way to destination. Each computer along the way will also decides where next to send the
packets, also choosing the least busy and most efficient ways. The packets may travel
through the local and regional networks from their home country, then probably reach
the Internet Highways - "Backbone" where the packets travel with full speed. Finally,
the packets may travel to another local and regional networks in other country and reach
the destination (the mail server of the recipient ISP).
Yeah, Here's We Are
Since, the packets may not all take the same route, some packets may arrive a little bit
earlier than the others. While the packets arrive the mail server on destination, the
mail server will examine the packets. If there are any packets missing or damaged, a message
is sent asking for those packets to be resent. If everything goes right, the email message
will held in an electronic mailbox.
Your Friend Get The Message
Now the message is resting on the mail server, awaiting your friend to get it. When your
friend log on the mail server, the message was retrieved from the mail server to his(her)
computer where the packets are reassembled into their original form and display on your
friend monitor.
