Are you getting the most out of the most popular network technology? Internet Messaging: From the Desktop to the Enterprise teaches everything the power user needs to know about e-mail, and much that will benefit the network administrator. This book teaches the reader how to use e-mail effectively, explaining how various aspects of the technology work and how they came to be, including mysteries such as what a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)-encoded attachment is and how a message gets from your computer to the screen of its addressee. Other parts of this book detail strategies for using e-mail. The guide helps you assess whether you are using the right mail client for your needs, whether your folders are organized to match your style of work, and if your e-mail client works well with your other productivity applications. The authors discuss other important but seldom-covered topics, such as how to register an Internet domain name and how to change from one host to another--a process that many domain owners shy away from because they don"t understand it. They also get into unsolicited mail (spam) and the various means of dealing with it. --David Wall
