== Email Client: ==
This is the email program you use to write and then send emails. Examples include Outlook, Eudora and Thunderbird

This is the bit after ‘@’ in an email address. For example if I am sending an email to name@mydomain.ie , the domain name is mydomain.ie

== IP address: ==
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is the unique address (number) associated with the computer where the email is being sent. It's a bit like a telephone number for a computer. An IP address consists of 4 groups of numbers, separated by dots e.g. 192.168.244.21

This is a computer which translates a domain name into an IP address

== POP Server: ==
This is the computer (or server) where your emails are stored until downloaded by Outlook Express.

== SMTP Server: ==
