Well, I havn't done any coding in a super long time. And I wanted to make an email. But I'm trying to decide if I should do it as a website or as a program. I can't really think of any pros or cons right now so I was hoping you guys could help me choose and then help me figure out how to make one, because Google failed me xD

Where do you get the SMTP and POP3/IMAP Server?

Well, I mean like making a website for email. But since I've never really touched this category before, I don't know what a SMTP and POP3/IMAP Server are, or what they do. So some information would be nice.

SMTP:

POP3:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POP3

I would assume because you said you wanted to make a website you would be using PHP for this, so heres a SourceForge link to an SMTP server done in PHP:

So like SMTP is to send email and POP3 is to receive email?

My dad tried explaining it to me. It was like, one SMTP server starts a conversation with another that has a list of emails or w/e, and they have a conversation until they agree that they can send it. So it sends to the server. Then when you go to your email, like in yahoo, it locates the POP3 server and your name, downloads the mail and then makes it viewable. Something like that right?

If you really really really want to make a mail server try IMP.

and download their PHP based thing.
