Everybody has used e-mail!
But how many have read documents, which set the standards for e-mail?
These standards have been set up in the documents:
RFC 822 / RFC 821 MIME standards set in
RFC 2045/2046/2047/2048
(old verson RFC 1521/1522)

ASCII times are over!
Now we want: National language support Possibility to send
– pictures– audiofiles– other applications– video files– multimedia applications

MIME - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension
RFC 2045-2048 obsolete RFC 1521, 1522,1590 RFC 2045 Format of Internet Message Bodies RFC 2046 Media Types RFC 2047 Message Header Extension for
Non-ASCII Text RFC 2048 Registration ProceduresTo solve RFC822 restrictions without serious
incompatibilities with it
![Page 7: 香港六合彩 » SlideShare](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bf77b94a7959a9278b4635/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MIME defines new header lines MIME-Version header field:
MIME-Version: 1.0
The content type header field to specify the the type and subtype of data in the body:
Content-Type: Text/Plain: Charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding field to show how data is encoded
Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE
Content-ID and Content-Description for future use
![Page 8: 香港六合彩 » SlideShare](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bf77b94a7959a9278b4635/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“Content type” possible values Text - textual information Image - for transmitting still images (gif,jpeg) Audio - requires audio output device Video - to display moving images, like mpeg Application - information to be processed by
application program Multipart - to represent compound, possibly
embedded parts Message - an encapsulated message
![Page 9: 香港六合彩 » SlideShare](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bf77b94a7959a9278b4635/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Content-transfer-Encoding
base64 - every 3 bytes are represented with 4 7-bit ASCII characters
quoted-printable - will code only non-ASCII characters in the text, 76char lines
7bit - no coding, already 7bit 8bit - have to be transported as 8-bit binary - as 8bit, but may contain long lines
![Page 10: 香港六合彩 » SlideShare](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bf77b94a7959a9278b4635/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Quoted-printable
Suitable to present most European languages which are based on ISO 8859-x standard
Non-ASCII chars will be coded with 3 chars: ´=´ followed by code in base (16) Examples:
Ü =DC ä =E4 ö =F6

How e-mail works
User Agent (UA) - program, with which human users read, create and manage e-mail
Mail Transport Agent (MTA) - handling the movement of messages among computers, non-real-time manner; SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - must be installed at every Internet Host
![Page 13: 香港六合彩 » SlideShare](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bf77b94a7959a9278b4635/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Working protocols
• SMTP - primary mechanism for moving mail around TCP/IP network, handles sites with permanent connections
• SMTP delivers mail, not allows user to collect it - sometimes the latter is more convenient
• POP, IMAP - fill the gap, they are oriented to serve users when they want
![Page 14: 香港六合彩 » SlideShare](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bf77b94a7959a9278b4635/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
POP, IMAP
Aim - to build a distributed e-mail infrastructure
LAN oriented, vendor specific POP - Post Office Protocol, latest
version POP3, RFC 1725 (1460) IMAP - the Internet Message Access
Protocol, latest version IMAP4, RFC2060 (1731)
