Informaci贸n B谩sica

Post Office Protocol (POP) se describe como un protocolo dentro del 谩mbito de las redes inform谩ticas y de Internet, que se utiliza para la extracci贸n y recuperaci贸n de correos electr贸nicos de un servidor de correo remoto, haci茅ndolos accesibles en el dispositivo local. Posicionado dentro de la capa de aplicaci贸n del modelo OSI, este protocolo permite a los usuarios obtener y recibir correos electr贸nicos. La operaci贸n de los clientes POP generalmente implica establecer una conexi贸n con el servidor de correo, descargar todos los mensajes, almacenar estos mensajes localmente en el sistema del cliente y, posteriormente, eliminarlos del servidor. Aunque hay tres iteraciones de este protocolo, POP3 se destaca como la versi贸n m谩s empleada.

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.
