- The main difference is that IMAP allows for the connection of multiple users or mail manager programs simultaneously to the same mailbox, facilitating subsequent access to the mail messages that are available on the server via web mail. POP3, on the other hand, downloads messages by deleting them from the server, and so email messages are no longer available in the server.
- Sendmail is the method of sending emails with the following syntax: SMTP.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg[, mail_options, rcpt_options].
- from email.mime.text import MIMEText.
- message = MIMEText(mail_msg, 'html', 'utf-8').
- You must first create a MimeMultipart() instance.
- POP3.stat(). The result is a tuple of two integers: (message count, mailbox size).
- The secure version of POP3() is its subclass, POP3_SSL(). It takes additional parameters, such as keyfile...

Overview of this book
Network programming has always been a demanding task. With full-featured and well-documented libraries all the way up the stack, Python makes network programming the enjoyable experience it should be.
Starting with a walk through of today's major networking protocols, through this book, you'll learn how to employ Python for network programming, how to request and retrieve web resources, and how to extract data in major formats over the web. You will utilize Python for emailing using different protocols, and you'll interact with remote systems and IP and DNS networking. You will cover the connection of networking devices and configuration using Python 3.7, along with cloud-based network management tasks using Python.
As the book progresses, socket programming will be covered, followed by how to design servers, and the pros and cons of multithreaded and event-driven architectures. You'll develop practical clientside applications, including web API clients, email clients, SSH, and FTP. These applications will also be implemented through existing web application frameworks.
