Study Notes
Email Communication
- Email is categorized as asynchronous communication, allowing users to send and receive messages without both parties being online simultaneously.
- The message header reveals the origin of the email; for example, Gmail accounts are indicated specifically by the header structure.
Mail Handling and Servers
- The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server is responsible for handling outgoing mail.
- When downloading mail from an account, messages remain on the server unless specifically deleted.
Transitioning Email Clients
- To transition emails from Outlook to Gmail, tools referenced in Figure 5-35 should be utilized.
Instant Messaging Characteristics
- Instant messaging is defined as synchronous communication, contrasting with the asynchronous nature of email.
- Characteristics include being text-based and facilitating two-way communication, but not using chat rooms as a defining trait.
VoIP and Addressing
- Voice over IP (VoIP) packets use IP addresses for transport, differing from traditional communication protocols like SMTP and POP3.
Snapchat Features
- The Snapchat timer displays how long a snap can be viewed by the recipient before it disappears.
Communication Concepts
- In a communication matrix, email is classified as a form of private, asynchronous communication.
- The header of an email tracks the path of the message from the sender to the recipient.
- Local email management utilizes protocols such as POP3 and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) for incoming mail.
History of Communication Methodologies
