A New Approach to Enhance E-mail Performance through POP3 Protocol
Hussein Al Bazar, Sureswaran Ramadass, Omar Abouabdalla · 2008
E-mail system has become the most popular computer based method used to send and receive E-mail messages between the network clients inside or outside the local network. The most important point in E-mail system processes is to send and retrieve the E-mail message in the best delivery time without any delay or latency. POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is an E-mail protocol used to retrieve the E-mail messages from the E-mail server to the E-mail client. One of the most important issues is the E-mail server performance during the sending and retrieving process. In this paper, we will explain and show the latency locations in POP3 protocol which occurs during the E-mail messages retrieving process. We also proposed new client/server architecture to improve the current POP3 standard to enhance the E-mail server performance and to reduce the latency in retrieve time.
