What Is SMTP?<\/h3>\n<p>SMTP is a <b>protocol<\/b> needed to set up your AOL mail account in another email client.<\/p>\n<p><b>But what exactly is a protocol, and how does <\/b><b>SMTP<\/b><b> help you?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>A protocol is a set of rules that dictate how communication occurs or how information is sent between one mail account and another.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/smtp\/\"><b>Simple Mail Transfer Protocol<\/b><\/a><b>, or <\/b><b>SMTP<\/b><b>,<\/b> is a protocol used by email software to send outgoing mail to the recipient\u2019s e mail account via your email provider.<\/p>\n<p><b>How does it work?<br \/>\n<\/b>SMTP uses a Mail Transfer Agent (known as the SMTP Relay), which ensures that all your mail goes to the <b>right<\/b> e mail account.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 4px solid #000080; background-color: #d3d3d3d3; padding: 10px;\">\n<p><b>Ajay\u2019s Email Tip<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the correct email address of the person you want to email, a good email finder tool can help you.

Each email moves from server to server until it reaches its destination.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, to discover how to track your outgoing mail <b>accurately,<\/b> read my article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/email-tracking-software\/\"><b>best <\/b><b>email tracking software<\/b><\/a> you can use in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>SMTP uses a set of commands that simplify this sending process between multiple email servers from your outgoing server. However, it <b>can\u2019t transmit attachments<\/b> \u2014 only text.<\/p>\n<p><b>So how are your attachments sent?<br \/>\n<\/b>Usually, the <b>Multipurpose Internet <\/b><b>Mail<\/b><b> Extension (MIME)<\/b> protocol comes into play here.<\/p>\n<p>It encodes the non-text data into text before sending an email through your email providers to your primary, CC, and BCC recipients.<\/p>\n<p>BCC refers to \u201cBlind Carbon Copy\u201d and helps you send emails to recipients <b>discreetly.<\/b> But you shouldn\u2019t use BCC to send emails to multiple recipients.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Check out my<\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/use-bcc-in-email\/\"> <b><i>guide<\/i><\/b><b><i> to using BCC correctly<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> for more information.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>2. What are POP and IMAP?<\/h3>\n<p>As SMTP deals only with sending outgoing mail, you need something to <b>receive<\/b> incoming mail in your mail application <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/quora\/2019\/03\/12\/how-to-manage-even-the-messiest-email-inbox\/#66b99b9017a2\">inbox<\/a> as well, right?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where <b>POP <\/b>and <b>IMAP<\/b> help you. You can set up your incoming mail server to receive all email messages through your email provider using either the POP or the IMAP protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at how these incoming server protocols work:<\/p>\n<h4>A. POP<\/h4>\n<p><b>POP<\/b> stands for Post Office Protocol, which is used to receive incoming mail. The current version that\u2019s widely in use is POP3.<\/p>\n<p>POP3 is great for personal computers as it <b>downloads<\/b> incoming emails to the local device any time you want to check your mail. This way, you don\u2019t have to be online to check your emails!<\/p>\n<h4>B. IMAP<\/h4>\n<p>The Internet Message Access Protocol, or <b>IMAP<\/b>, is another protocol used to receive incoming emails from your email service.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike POP, IMAP protocol saves all of your incoming emails on a mail server. Every time you check your inbox, your email program contacts the incoming mail server and lets you access your mail from <b>any <\/b>device with an internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, your IMAP server acts as cloud-based storage for your emails. That\u2019s why IMAP is considered a more efficient and faster alternative to POP3.<\/p>\n<h4>POP3 vs. IMAP<\/h4>\n<p>To sum it up, POP3 downloads incoming mail to your local device while IMAP stores them on a server. This makes IMAP a more efficient option.<\/p>\n<p>However, IMAP requires a stable internet connection every time you want to check your emails, while POP allows you to check your inbox offline.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"#this\">Go back to contents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>While AOL webmail features a powerful mail client of its own, it\u2019s easy to set up your AOL email account on any email app of your choice.<\/p>\n<p>You can also customize your AOL mail settings to better suit your needs with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Simply follow the steps I\u2019ve covered in this article to configure your settings, and you\u2019re all set to manage your AOL email account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to send and receive AOL mail from another email program, you\u2019ll first need to set up your AOL server settings.
