The main protocols previously in use for "Internet mail," way, way back when I still had 'net access were SMTP, IMAP, and POP. When I hear someone say "real email" or "internet mail" I think of a MUA which can handle all three. Most "real" mail user interfaces (MUA's) send using SMTP, receive using POP, and can handle IMAP. But then again I'm not involved in the extended conversation... I hope this reached exactly the right people and list, I did a reply all and added myself.

Usually "real" email can be sent right when you press the send button. Without dialing, without this, without that, using a live connection to the 'net. As far as I can tell. Hope this helps. Your mailage may vary. (Sorry about that. No really, I couldn't resist. Mileage versus mailage. What, you don't think it's funny?!? Well, duh, why do you think I apologized? :-) To unsubscribe, send a message to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe juno_accmail" in the body or subject. OR visit //freelists.org ~*~
