-Introduction
-
-
-
- There are advantages to having a central server receive the mail
- destined to desktop computers and having the desktop computer collect
- the mail from the server on demand:
- * Your desktop computer may be down quite a bit and less network
- bandwidth and less of the processing resources of the sending
- computer are used if the computer receiving your mail is ready to
- receive.
- * Some people use more than one desktop computer to read mail.
- * A desktop computer may not have the resources to store all the
- mail you receive.
- * It can make your e-mail address more like other users'.
-
-
-
- The easiest way to "implement" this is to run the central mail server
- like any multi-user system: let people sign on to it and use some mail
- utility. Then desktop computer users can use "terminal sessions" to
- sign on to the central mail server and read their mail (e.g. with Unix
- "pine"). This has the disadvantage of making the desktop computer
- users learn and use the central mail server's procedures.
-
- SMTP, the "internet" mail protocol used to deliver mail between
- multi-user systems only supports mail transfer initiated by the sender
- to actually, it has a method to initiate reception, but the method
- didn't catch on and is not used). Other protocols have been devised to
- allow a desktop computer to request transfer of mail, thus able to
- make use of a central server. These include the published variants of
- POP, IMAP, and DMSP.
-
- POP, POP2, POP3
-
-
-
- These are rather minimal and are designed to be so. The three are
- similar but not enough alike to be interoperable. They are basically
- designed to identify the user by username and password, to transfer
- the mail from server to desktop computer and to delete the mail
- transferred. It is assumed that SMTP will be used to send mail.
- Messages can be retrieved individually, but the only information you
- can get about a message without transferring it is its length in
- bytes-- useful for desktop computers with limited storage.
-
- POP3 has a number of optional extensions including Xtnd Xmit which
- allows clients to send mail through the POP3 session rather than using
- SMTP. Another extension is APOP which allows RSA MD5 encryption of
- passwords passed over the network.
-
- POP3 is now by far the most-used variant of POP, but POP2 may still be
- used at a few sites. POP3 has a couple of optional extensions: one to
- avoid sending passwords, and one to aid in reading bulletin boards.
-
- IMAP2, IMAP2BIS, IMAP3, IMAP4, IMAP4REV1
-
-
-
- The IMAP family is similar to the POP family, but also gives clients a
- way to do string searches through mail that still resides on the
- server. This is designed to allow the desktop computer to be more
- selective as to which mail will be transferred. The POP protocols, on
- the other hand, are designed for simpler server software.
-
- IMAP2 is used quite a bit. IMAP3 is an incompatible offshoot that has
- not been implemented much. IMAP4 is a relatively recent extension of
- IMAP2 which makes the servers cognizant of the MIME-structure of a
- message. IMAP2bis was the original name of IMAP4, which has since been
- refined, but there are/were some implementations of IMAP2bis that are
- not IMAP4 compliant. IMAP4 also extends IMAP to have many other
- features including some of DMSP's. IMAP4rev1 includes a few
- enhancements to IMAP4.
-
- ACAP
-
-
-
- ACAP (Application Configuration Access Protocol), formerly IMSP
- (Interactive Mail Support Protocol), is a protocol which is being
- developed to compliment IMAP4 by offering related e-mail services
- beyond the scope of IMAP4. It includes the ability to subscribe find &
- subscribe to bulletin boards, mailboxes, and to find and search
- address books.
-
- IMAP VS POP
-
-
-
- As of this writing (10/96), there are a many more POP than IMAP client
- implementations and an Internet Service Provider is much more likely
- to provide POP3 service than IMAP4. But interest in IMAP4 is growing
- with big-time software houses announcing support. IMAP4 has more
- features, basically designed to support a model where users store
- their received mail on a server rather than on their own computer. The
- big advantage cited for IMAP is that people who "do e-mail" from
- different computers at different times have the same access to their
- message store from any of the client-computers they use. The cost of
- this model (aside from issues such as the complexity and the
- availability of implementations) is in running a server with
- sufficient space for the clients' message stores. With personal
- computer disks now often above a gigabyte (presumeably growing to 10s
- of gigabytes over the next few years) and multimedia messaging in our
- future, people storing e-mail on their own hard disk will have a lot
- of space and ways to use it. A central store serving 10-20 users will
- not be overly difficult, but one for 1,000 or 10,000 users will be
- very large (terabytes?) if it is to offer comparable space. The
- question comes down to the tradeoff between the advantage to users who
- computer-hop against the costs of managing the large amount of central
- store. See also online document imap.vs.pop.html (reference below) and
- section below "Issue of Remote Access".
-
- DMSP
-
-
-
- Also know as PCMAIL. Desktop computers can use this protocol to both
- send and receive mail. The system is designed around the idea that
- each user can own more than one workstation; however, the system
- doesn't seem to handle the idea of a "public workstation" very well.
- The desktop computers are assumed to hold state information about the
- mail, a directory so to speak, and when the desktop computer is
- connected to the server, this directory is updated to "reality". Note:
- DMSP never gained the following of IMAP or POP and I've heard the
- software is no longer available.
-
- WHO USES THESE PROTOCOLS?
-
-
-
- These protocols were designed and implemented mostly by
- Internet-connected universities with some participation by other
- Internet-connected research institutions. They were certainly devised
- to handle the type of electronic mail that universities must do. A
- typical site has probably 10 to 10,000 desktop computers and has an
- Internet connection and also runs Unix, giving them the Unix sysadmin
- expertise that makes running a Unix-based server attractive. Most of
- the servers listed here run under Unix though some run under other
- large systems and as time goes on, we are seeing more servers that run
- on PCs and Macintoshes.
-
- A more recent use of these protocols has been by Internet Service
- Providers and their customers. Internet Service Providers require a
- way to offer e-mail services to however many customers they provide,
- to customers who are connected to the network only part of the time.
- Like a campus application, they may have 10 or 10,000 customers to
- serve. These protocols offer a distinct advantage over SMTP for such
- purposes and form an attractive complementary e-mail service for WWW
- users.
-
- DISADVANTAGES
-
-
-
- There are a number of disadvantages associated with the use of these
- protocols:
- * since these have long been no more than a small part of the e-mail
- market, software using these methods is often incompatible with
- other useful and/or well-known software. A couple of examples are:
- + Use of mail-enabled applications on desktop computers (there
- is no fundamental reason that mail software using these
- protocols can't provide the API used by mail-enabled
- applications, but in general this hasn't come about yet)
- + Use of the usual Unix mail readers & the Unix .forward files.
- * since the server is holding mail for the person, the person can
- use the server for storage. This leaves the potential for all the
- disk-space problems inherent in shared disks: people hogging
- disk-space or forgetting to clean up, etc.
- * sizing the server: a perennial question people ask is "How big a
- machine do I need to serve my campus (or department, or
- whatever)". Naturally no one can give a straight answer because it
- depends upon so many factors.
-
- ISSUE OF REMOTE ACCESS
-
-
-
- Modern commercial e-mail packages typically have features designed to
- assist in remote access of ones e-mail. Features include:
- * ability to download mail through a modem
- * ability to synchronize two different systems which you are using
- to read your e-mail by plugging them together.
-
-
-
- Any method of reading e-mail using PCs or Macintoshes can be used
- remotely via remote control (the "PCanywhere(tm)" method, e.g. by
- dialing up your own office PC/Macintosh and using one of the several
- kinds of software that allow you to control your PC/Macintosh over the
- phone). Also, any LAN-based method can be used by using one of the
- several methods of providing the same protocol support over dialup
- lines as are on LANs (SLIP or PPP for the above-mentioned,
- TCP/IP-based protocols, ARA for Appletalk-based protocols, etc, and
- sometimes using two different protocols, one incapsulated in the
- other) under the constraint that any operations that use the network
- will be much slower. Also, POP3 is sometime used directly over modems
- (for example, Eudora can be used in this manner).
-
- The ideal protocol for remote access would not penalize the user for
- the much slower communications speed (usually slower by a factor of
- 100: note that a lot of LAN-based software was written without regard
- to minimizing the necessary communication, thus is really hurt by such
- slow speeds), yet would allow the same software to run both remotely
- and locally, with a wonderful user interface. It would also not be
- overly expensive in communications equipment or services. This is a
- difficult set of objectives and the above-three protocols can achieve
- some of them for some users, but what they actually achieve depends a
- lot on the user's pattern of e-mail usage. If a user reads just a
- small amount of mail, then we would not worry about the length of time
- necessary to download it remotely with POP3, but if the person
- receives a lot of mail, but just wants to read a small amount of it at
- home, then with IMAP2, they could pick and choose what to read,
- eliminating some download time. If someone is paying for the telephone
- line time (possibly the user if it is a long distance call; in any
- case, the institution pays a monthly fee for each line it offers,
- which is dependent upon how many users it is serving, how often they
- call, and how long their calls are) then IMAP2's natural method of
- usage which requires the phone call to remain while a user is reading,
- poking around, sending, and rearranging mail can be much more costly
- than using POP3 if one call is used to quickly download all the mail
- and another later call is used to send any replies. Thus with POP3 a
- user might have two 1 minute calls before and after a 30 minute e-mail
- session instead of keeping the call for 30 minutes with IMAP2, and
- each phone line the institution offers could be serving 15 times as
- many such users who would each pay a lot less in long-distance phone
- bills. Note that with the advent of multimedia mail (see MIME below)
- whose messages can be very large, it is possible that downloading even
- one message that you end up not reading remotely could ruin such a
- nice-sounding scenario.
-
- Note that with the growth of Internet Service Providers, remote access
- is becoming the normal way for many people to do their e-mail, and
- offering such services is one of the major growth areas for POP and
- IMAP.
-
- MIME
-
-
-
- MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a relatively new
- Internet standard for the format for messages with multiple parts, and
- with non-ASCII data. Any client that can import or export files can
- use MIME in a clumsy way if you have a program to create and/or decode
- a MIME message. Some clients have built-in features to do this.
- Client-server mail protocols generally only deal with entire messages,
- and can retrieve MIME messages as well as any other messages since
- MIME was carefully designed to be transparent to existing mail
- systems. However, IMAP4 has features to allow retrieval of individual
- parts of MIME-encoded messages. The chart below lists whether a
- package has MIME support. Servers for protocols that don't offer any
- special MIME features are marked na for Not Applicable since they need
- do nothing for users to use MIME. All IMAP4 servers can also do this,
- but the chart lists whether they include explicit MIME support.
-
- APPROACHES NOT COVERED BY THIS MEMO
- * Proprietary protocols
- * file sharing
- * APIs
- * X.400.
-
-
-
- Vendors can invent their own protocols similar to those listed above,
- and some have.
-
- LAN e-mail can also be implemented using file sharing, e.g. using NFS
- to allow separate Unix workstations to share the same mail spool area
- just as if it were mail being stored on one system, or using Novell's
- SMF (Simple Message Format) in a Novell file server. If the
- applications are written so that they are careful to lock files
- correctly, then this works. An advantage is that any network file
- protocol can be used and the e-mail application can be somewhat
- independent of the file protocol. For example, Unix systems could use
- either AFS or NFS. Pegasus is a PC & Mac application that uses Novell
- file service to do something similar. Specifications for client-server
- interaction consist of the file service protocol along with the server
- directory structures & conventions used for storing e-mail.
-
- A very popular approach with commercial vendors is the use of APIs.
- The client talks to the server using an API (Applications Programming
- Interface), i.e., a set of subroutine/procedure library call
- definitions for a library providing subroutines/procedures to send,
- receive, and manipulate e-mail. With the use of any remote procedure
- call mechanism, the client can be located on a different computer from
- the server. This allows some mixing and matching of RPC mechanisms,
- underlying protocol stacks and APIs: e.g., a vendor defines an API,
- and it can be run over IPX or TCP/IP, in each case over the protocol
- stack's RPC mechanism. There are a number of APIs now being pushed by
- vendors: MAPI (Microsoft); VIM (Lotus); AOCE (Apple). These API's have
- been the basis for numerous mail-enabled applications: e.g. a word
- processor that allows you to send or receive documents through e-mail
- simply uses one of these APIs allowing it to communicate with any
- server supporting the same API. Specifications for client-server
- interaction consist of the protocol stack up to the RPC protocol, then
- the API itself.
-
- Note that though the API approach in combination with remote procedure
- calls allows one to implement client-server e-mail without the use of
- the protocols covered by this document (IMAP, POP, etc), that there is
- no theoretical reason why such APIs can't be used in an IMAP or POP
- environment. The necessary software would be a "driver" or piece of
- "middleware" that provides the APIs calls to mail-enabled applications
- and uses POP, IMAP, or whatever over a LAN to reach a server. The
- advantages/disadvantages of such an approach as compared to the use of
- RPCs is open to debate. UniPalm's Mail-IT is an example of client
- software that provides MAPI within the client and uses POP3 to access
- the server.
-
- X.400 is the message transport defined for use between
- telecommunications vendors and customers by the international
- consortium of national standards bodies known as ISO. It roughly
- corresponds to TCP/IP's SMTP and RFC822 header format. A consortium of
- X.400 vendors (XAPIA) have developed an API for X.400 applications
- called CMC.
-
- LDAP
-
-
-
- LDAP is a protocol (the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) being
- incorporated in some clients as an Internet way for the client to get
- information about e-mail addresses from a server, i.e. to give you the
- capability to type in someone's name and have the mail client software
- retrieve the address from a server-based directory. LDAP also has
- other uses. There are plans to incorporate LDAP clients into some IMAP
- and POP clients. LDAP is essentially an Internet-based, simplified
- X.500-like protocol and one of the original intentions of its creators
- was to be gatewayed to X.500, thus giving relatively simple Internet
- clients access to X.500 servers. Both LDAP and X.500 provide a method
- for naming, retrieving, and searching fields in a directory, but do
- not define the field-names or what is supposed to go in the fields.
- Thus server/client interoperability requires further conventions.
-
- JAVA
-
-
-
- Java is a programming language currently (1996) touted as a tool for
- web-based applications. It can affect the use of LAN protocols in a
- number of ways: first of all, POP or IMAP clients can be written in
- Java, using its cross-platform development capabilities to create
- version for a number of platforms. Second, clients could be written as
- "Applets", i.e. applications designed to be downloaded into web
- browsers such as Netscape from a server. With such a design, a user
- would only need access to a web browser to see their e-mail, e.g. drop
- into a library and see your e-mail from one of its Internet-browser
- kyosks. Applets are not normally allowed to access the
- client-machine's disk files (which would result in too much risk when
- browsing the Internet from the kind of people who develop computer
- viruses), so such an application fits a little better into the IMAP
- model (server storage of e-mail folders) than the POP model (client
- storage of e-mail folders). Thirdly, Applets enable more practical use
- of e-mail clients that use non-standard protocols rather than POP or
- IMAP; interoperability is achieved because the server itself
- distributes a compatible client applet right when the user accesses
- the server.
