馃敊 #Email is around since the 1980s and is still used by billions of people everyday. But how does it work?
馃 The success of email is mostly due to being based in protocols.
Protocols are a set of rules on how a node communicates with other nodes, allowing information exchange. Email uses the SMTP protocol for sending messages and POP3 or IMAP for receiving messages.
By being based on protocols, Email cannot be owned by anyone - it's just a set of rules, a convention. This allows decentralized communication. Your university server can communicate with a Gmail server to exchange messages, for example.
