(francis)This process can be broken down into the receiver and the sender. On the sender side we have the 2-tier architecture, this will be using its software to interface with its server, this server will use a web protocol (SMTP) to transmit to the receiver's sever. This server will then accept the message.
At the receiver side the data will be assigned a protocol either IMAP or SMTP and the packet will be sent to the server computer. This will be accessed by the receiver through a HTTP(S) request to the web-based email application. That request will display the email on the receiver's computer.
