Basic Information

Post Office Protocol (POP) inafafanuliwa kama protokali ndani ya eneo la mtandao wa kompyuta na Intaneti, ambayo inatumika kwa ajili ya kuondoa na kupata barua pepe kutoka kwa seva ya barua ya mbali, na kuifanya ipatikane kwenye kifaa cha ndani. Iko ndani ya tabaka la programu la mfano wa OSI, protokali hii inawawezesha watumiaji kupata na kupokea barua pepe. Uendeshaji wa wateja wa POP kwa kawaida unahusisha kuanzisha muunganisho na seva ya barua, kupakua ujumbe wote, kuhifadhi ujumbe hawa kwenye mfumo wa mteja, na kisha kuondoa kutoka kwa seva. Ingawa kuna matoleo matatu ya protokali hii, POP3 inajitokeza kama toleo linalotumika zaidi.

Description: Notes for POP
Note: |
Post Office Protocol (POP) is described as a protocol within the realm of computer networking and the Internet, which is utilized for the extraction and retrieval of email from a remote mail server**, making it accessible on the local device. Positioned within the application layer of the OSI model, this protocol enables users to fetch and receive email. The operation of POP clients typically involves establishing a connection to the mail server, downloading all messages, storing these messages locally on the client system, and subsequently removing them from the server. Although there are three iterations of this protocol, POP3 stands out as the most prevalently employed version.
