TPF Internet mail server support provides a set of servers that implement the standard Internet mail protocols on the TPF system. Users, or mail clients, interact with the TPF Internet mail servers to send and retrieve Internet mail, also known as electronic mail (e-mail). The TPF system supports the following standard Internet protocols:
SMTP describes how mail messages are delivered from one computer user to another. IMAP and POP describe how mail messages that are received on a computer (that is, a mail server) are retrieved by a mail client (usually another computer, such as a workstation).
See TPF Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol for more information about TPF Internet mail server support.
