Hello, and welcome to the series on the three types of email for WordPress. In this series, you'll learn how to set up email for custom domain names and use it within WordPress for any emails that your website will be sending and receiving.

What are the three types of emails you might be thinking to yourself? Well, there's certainly a type of email that I know about, like, you know, I have a Gmail or a hotmail email address, I know how to send and receive email, and do CC and BCC and those types of things. And that really, is what I would call traditional email, or I call that send and receive, send and receive email. Now send a receive email has two traits that we can use to define it. In contrast with the other two types of email, send and receive email is sent from a person to another person.

And so when we talk about send and receive email, we are talking about those traditional Gmail email addresses. And having your email addresses attachments, photos and things like that stored somewhere on a computer. And that's called email hosting. And so for traditional send, and receive email, emails need to be hosted somewhere just like your website is hosted on a computer server that is somewhere connected to the internet, like in a big data center somewhere. If you're using send and receive email, then your email is also hosted somewhere.

When you use a free email service like Gmail, Gmail is taking on the expense of hosting your email for you. You can also host your own email. And if you didn't want a, you know, your [email protected] email address. For example, if you were providing email addresses for a business or your own business at a custom domain name like example.com, then you would want an email address like your name, at example.com. And so to illustrate that a little bit, let's just say that, you know, one of the things about senders receive email is that, you know, there's a person that sends an email, and another person that receives it, and the person that receives the email, they need to have hosting to receive that email and store it somewhere so that they can open it later, they need to host that email.

The other thing you need with sender and receiver email is that person might reply. And so it's a two way street, this person also needs to have hosting for their email. And so you know, Gmail is an example of a hosted send and receive email service. And really that's all send and receive email is it is it's email that can be sent and can be received. And so therefore, it needs to be stored somewhere.

And so let's look at the second type of email. The second type of email is defined by having a website or computer in other words, send the email automatically to a person to a single person. And so we normally think of those types of emails as ones that are automatically sent from a website after a transaction like a purchase receipt, or filling out a contact form on a website where an automatic notification or receipt goes out from the website, and then is sent to a single person. And so that is called transactional email because the transaction has taken place. And then the website has automatically sent the email out.

So if we look at the, the drawing on the iPad, again, this one is called transactional email. And because this is website to a person, of course, that person receiving the email, they've potentially put their email address, either in buying a product or filling out a contact form. And so by having an email address, they already have the send and receive type of email. And so on that end, of course, their own email is a send and receive type of email. So they're sitting there waiting to receive this email, do they have hosting? Yes, they do. But on the sending or outgoing side, you know, this is actually sent not by a human but by a website or a computer, you might say.

And so, one one of the things that really defines transactional email is that is a that is it is a one way process. transactional email goes in one direction, from a website to a single person and so While center receive email is one to one. transactional email is also one, one to one, that's one to one email.
