Email Standards

Email standards are set rules that ensure emails are sent, received, and understood consistently across different systems. They cover how email messages are formatted, how addresses are written, and how servers communicate. These standards, like SMTP for sending emails and IMAP or POP3 for retrieving them, help prevent issues like spam or misdelivery. Essentially, they create a common language that keeps email functioning smoothly, secure, and reliable, regardless of the email service provider or device used.
