FINAL DELIVERY :
• Final delivery refers to the stage when the Data
message reaches the consumer after traversing the
network.
• The data is either delivered from the producer or from
an intermediate node that had previously cached the
data.
• Upon receiving the Data message, the consumer can
process or use the content. This is the "final" part of the
process in CCN, where the content is successfully
delivered to the user/application.. Several user agents
may even be running at the same time.
IMAP—The Internet Message
Access Protocol :
• IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a key protocol for
final email delivery. It operates on port 143, where the mail
server runs an IMAP server and the user agent runs an IMAP
client. The client connects to the server, establishes a secure
connection, and authenticates. IMAP allows the client to list
folders, fetch messages, mark them with flags, and organize
them into folders. While the IMAP specification uses "mailbox"
to refer to a user's email storage, it is often presented as
"folders." IMAP also supports searching for specific messages
using attributes (e.g., "first message from Alice") and
performing searches on the server before fetching the relevant
emails.
POP3 :
POP3 is a simpler email protocol that downloads
messages to the user's computer instead of keeping
them on the server. While this reduces the load on the
server, it makes it difficult to access email from
multiple devices, and if the computer fails, all emails
can be lost. Despite its limitations, POP3 is still in use
today. Proprietary protocols, like Microsoft Exchange,
are also used when both the mail server and user
agent are provided by the same company.
Webmail:
Webmail, offered by services like Gmail, Hotmail, and
Yahoo! Mail, is an alternative to IMAP and SMTP for
email access. In this setup, the email interface is
provided through a web browser, rather than a
standalone program. While the provider still uses SMTP
to handle message delivery, the user interacts with
email via web pages, allowing access from any browser
without needing dedicated email software. This makes
email management more flexible and accessible across
devices.
THE WORLD WIDE
WEB:
The Web, as the World Wide Web is
popularly known, is an architectural
framework for accessing linked content
spread out over millions of machines all
over the Internet.
