Australian web and email hosting provides high availability, which refers to the ability of the host’s servers to remain operation in spite of failure of one of its components. The probability of remaining operational is regarded as optimal at approximately 99.99 percent.
The email hosting service works with an email client, which is a software used to read and send emails. They are compact clients, but there are also web applications (webmail) that provide the same functionality. The essential feature of all these programs is to provide access to a electronic mail box.
Until 2004, compact mail clients (installed on the computer as software) allowed storage of messages locally, lack of advertising, and faster than webmail interface. Updates can only be done cyclically, and even companies are beginning to move towards the more flexible and scalable web applications, which are often safer in terms of data retention.
In fact, a compact email client is dependent on the health of the hard drive of the user, and in case of a crash, data can be lost, and IMAP access generally provides the server-side data, it is duplicated and therefore free from breakdown risks.
Originally, messaging clients did not any communication protocol to work. On UNIX systems, the programs retrieve the mail in a file in a specialized format and sends it through the sendmail order.
In this case, the e-mail server which depends on the user delivers mail directly into inbox in the corresponding format. However, many customers use standardized protocols to communicate with the servers.
Receiving mail is done either through the Post Office Protocol (POP) or the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). In the case of POP, the mail is transferred from the server to the client machine and is generally removed from the server.
On the contrary, IMAP allows synchronization of mail between the client and the server. In addition to these mail server standard mechanisms, there are mechanisms specific to certain exchange systems.
For example, MAPI is a Microsoft proprietary API used in some Windows environments (eg, Microsoft Outlook) to communicate with mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange.
