Extra Activity: e-mail addresses and servers

(Adapted from Demetriades, Dinos. Information Technology: workshop. Oxford University Press, 2003)

Reading

1. Leia o texto rapidamente. Qual parágrafo (1-4) fornece as respostas para as perguntas (a-d)?

a. What do the two types of server do?
b. What are the parts of an e-mail address?
c. How many types of e-mail client are there?
d. What happens when you send an e-mail?

 

1 An internet e-mail address has a user name, the at symbol (@), and a domain name. The user name is the name you choose. The domain mae has two parts separated by a dot (.). The first part is the network that receives the e-mail and the second is the top-level domain (TLD), which shows the type of organization, such as commercial (.com) or educational (.edu). Sometimes the TLD is a country code, such as .cz (Czech Republic).

2 To use e-mail a client computer needs an e-mail program to connect to a network server. The program can be stand-alone, e.g. Outlook Express, or Web-based, e.g. Yahoo. Stand-alone programs let you compose e-mail off-line, but with Web-based programs you must be on-line.

3 E-mail uses two kinds of mail server: an SMTP server, which deals with outgoing e-mail and a POP3 server, which deals with incoming e-mail. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol; POP stands for Post Office protocol.

4. If you send an e-mail to a friend in the same domain as you, your SMTP server simply send it to the POP3 server in your domain, which adds it to your friend's inbox. If your friend has a different domain name, your SMTP server finds your friend's SMTP server using a Domain Name Service (DNS). When your friend's SMTP server receives the e-mail, it sends your e-mail to its POP3 server which adds it to your friend's inbox.

 

2. Decida se as orações são True (T) ou false (F).

a. You cannot choose your own user name.
b. The domain name shows the network.
c. .edu and .com are TLDs.
d. A DNS sends an e-mail to a POP3 server.
