    When I have to explain how email works, I walk them through the process of drafting a letter, placing a stamp on it, dropping, it in a mailbox, etc. The stamp and the address contain the “routing information if you will.” I call the SMTP server, the postal service. I refer to the IMAP server as like the mailbox.
