I don't think so, at this point SMTP is more than just a protocol for sending - it's how you integrate multiple email services into one single interface.

- necrophcodr 3y agoSMTP is as much a protocol for sending as it is for receiving. IMAP isn't a "receive emails" protocol, as much as it is a "manage mails on a server" protocol. I'm not sure if people working with these protocols have built applications implementing their specifications before, but they should. It affords you a much better picture of why these protocols are designed as they are, good and bad.
