How to email like a boss

Last year, I vowed to put my overly-apologetic default tone in the trash where it belongs. So I created this guide! Maybe you’ll find it useful too. I hope you will enjoy it too.

How SMTP works?

SMTP stands for Mail250 Transfer Protocol. In a layman terms it is like a small language which consists of only few words. Mass mail SMTP

This post explans about how one smtp software (client) talks to another smtp software (server) under the hood.

SMTP is a harsh mistress indeed

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is different from the Post Office Protocol. They both deal with Emails, but perhaps the most important difference is the fact that SMTP offers the ability to have your email client logged in to the mail server rather than logging to fetch and transmit emails to and from the client – as in the case of POP.

I learned this recently as I was experimenting with Emacs – that most revered of text editors. One of the features of Emacs is reading mail. I set up my .emacs-file for this and told it to use POP for the transfers. I did so because I never considered SMTP an alternative.

This turned out to be a huge mistake.

When I fired up Gnus (in Emacs) to see my mails I logged in to the server all right. But instead of just copying the messages from the server it transferred them to my machine and left the server empty. My main email client (Mozilla Thunderbird) was “emptied” of the emails I had there as it never actually read the mailbox contents locally.

I am now left with a few emails in my Thunderbird client and a bunch of old ones in Emacs Gnus.

Is there a way to change things back? To get the emails back on to the server (it does not belong to me and I have no control over it). What am I supposed to do?
