How to design a (SMTP, POP3) Mail server C++ Guided project

🚀 Course Title: Designing Your Own Mail Server in C++

🧵 Course Description:

Embark on a journey to master the art of designing a mail server from scratch using C++. In this comprehensive C++ Guided Project - Design of a Mail Server, you will delve into the intricacies of email protocols, understand the role of different types of servers in the ecosystem, and get hands-on experience with the SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 protocols.

What You'll Learn:

• Understanding Email Protocols: Get to grips with the differences between various mail server protocols and learn why SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 are the most commonly used.

• Server Types Demystified: Explore the functionalities of different types of servers such as Mail, Database, DNS, and HTTP servers.

• Deep Dive into POP3: The course provides an in-depth look at the POP3 protocol and its twelve essential commands, including RPOP, RETR, STAT, LIST, USER, NOOP, LAST, TOP, QUIT, DELE, RSET, and more.

Hands-On Project:

• Coding the Server Protocol: Start by designing a simple server protocol to establish a connection with clients.

• Setting Up the Mail Server: Write the necessary C++ code to set up a server, manage threads for client connections, and ensure the server is ready to accept mail server commands.

• Client Interaction: Once connected, handle client interactions on separate threads, processing commands from the client effectively.

• Two Client Designs: Choose between a command-line client or a graphical user interface (GUI) client designed with Qt. The GUI client will offer a user-friendly experience for interacting with the mail server.

• GUI Client Deep Dive: The course includes an in-depth discussion on designing the client side of the GUI, featuring message display in a text browser and client messages input via a line edit.
