00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,800
Hey everyone and welcome back. So what we're going to be focusing on in this skill right

2
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:25,160
here is all around the subject of email now as modern consumers of the internet I'm sure

3
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,760
we all know what email is all about. But the reality is for the purposes of the L-PIC

4
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,840
to examination the configuration of email that we have to deal with is a little bit

5
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,160
different than just logging in to your Gmail account or your Hotmail account whatever it

6
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:45,359
may be. So let's talk about some of the things that we're going to be looking at within this

7
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:51,120
skill and then we'll dive right into the configurations. Okay, so the very first thing that we're going

8
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:58,760
to really focus on is email server configuration. That is having our own little email server

9
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:04,840
directly on our machine. So right now I have an Ubuntu distribution. I'm going to install

10
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:11,719
a particular email server for this distro after which we're going to look at some particular

11
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:17,879
configurations with respect to reading and managing your emails locally. So once we get

12
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:23,640
some type of email coming into our system, we want to be able to retrieve that and read

13
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:29,879
it just like you can when you're managing your regular emails. Now the reality is once we actually

14
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:37,079
install our email server, this functionality will be built in to that server, which makes sense.

15
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:42,680
But quite honestly, the default configuration is not the best way to handle this problem.

16
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,799
And once again, for the purposes of the L-PIC to examination, we have to understand some

17
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:53,799
different alternatives or add-ons, should I say to really simplify this process, we will definitely

18
00:01:53,799 --> 00:02:00,200
look at handling local emails. And then at the very end, what we're going to do is we're going

19
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,519
to look at how we can manage remote emails. This is going to focus on how we can retrieve emails

20
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:12,840
remotely using things such as IMAP and pop three, we'll get to talk about what those are very, very

21
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,159
shortly. And that means briefly looking at two servers, one of which is called a courier server,

22
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:25,400
and the other is called the Dovecott server. So all of this information is coming up within this

23
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,199
skill. So the best thing for us to do is to roll up our sleeves and dive right in. So the very first

24
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:34,039
thing we will be looking at is that server configuration. And that is what we're going

25
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:38,520
to be talking about in the very next nuggets. I hope this has been informative for you. And I'd

26
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,520
like to thank you for viewing.
