DESCRIPTION:We all use email\, but have you ever wondered how 
 it actually works? In this talk we shall explore w
 hat happens after you press "Send": the journey of
  an email\, including why we use multiple intermed
 iate mail servers and what happens at each hop\, b
 efore focusing on SMTP and IMAP4. I shall also be 
 answering the question of what an email actually i
 s\, by discussing the changing standards for the I
 nternet Message Format and seeing how the current 
 format is restricted by legacy systems. Lastly\, I
  shall give an overview of the development and cur
 rent state of our University’s email system: this 
 will include overhauls from the past\, their simpl
 e but effective approach to load balancing and fai
 lure recovery\, a comparison with other Universiti
 es and\, finally\, the worrying prospect of the de
 ath of Hermes.
