Internet Mail Standard
Return to Email Standards, Email, Internet Standards
Internet e-mail functions through the use of Internet Standards. Although many more standards actually apply to e-mail, virtually all mail servers and e-mail clients support at least the following basic set:
* Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - SMTP (or IETF RFC 5321) specifies the email protocol by which e-mail is transmitted
* IETF RFC 5322 specifies the basic format for e-mail
* MIME supplements the e-mail formatting rules to allow non-English text in both e-mail headers and e-mail bodies, and defines a mechanism for including non-textual e-mail attachments in e-mail bodies
* Post Office Protocol - POP3 and Internet Message Access Protocol - IMAP4 specify e-mail retrieval protocols used by e-mail clients
