Email Client Software Project

Email Client Software Project Abstract:

 

System Architecture

The ISPs mail server handles the emails sent from an ISP (Internet Service Provider); the ISP mail server is similar to an electronic post office. The sent email first comes to the mail server; it is then processed and forwarded to the collector’s destination where another mail server is situated.

The collector mail server receives all the incoming emails and sorts them electronically in the collectors’ mailboxes. Then, the collector or the recipient of the email has to use their email program to pick up the email. This is done by directly connecting to the mail server through the program, and then the received items can be seen in the mailbox.

The problem with the existing Email Client System is that mailing is done through browser by using services like Hotmail, Yahoo, Google, etc. These systems use HTTP port 80 to access the emails, and the overall procedure here is not safe to send confidential messages. This existing system can be easily hacked by hackers, some data may be modified or even lost.

With the proposed Email Client Software, email client program is run on Java coding. It can be used to send/receive emails very securely. Additionally, the cost of mail client in the proposed system is less compared to the mail services.

Conclusion:

This Email Client Software can be implemented to fulfill all the client requirements. The system interface is very user friendly, and the overall system has been successfully tested. It has a broad future scope as new features can be incorporated in the present proposed system. The system can be used for online sharing of data without the involvement of authority by which users can read message from any part of the world.
