E-mail
protocol
There are
basically two distinct protocols for sending e-mails.
SMTP:
(Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol)
When you choose SMTP you specify the name
of a SMTP server. This does not
necessarily have to be accessed through a
LAN but can be accessed through a modem
connection. Contact your Network
administrator
MAPI:
(Messaging API). When
you choose MAPI you specify the name of
your local mail client. Mails are passed
on to the local client who will pass on
the mail. (NT: Try accessing Settings /
Control Panel / Mail / Profiles)
Note that MAPI definitions do not use the
From and Name fields.
