How Email Works? Make your PC a email server.

Email Sending and Receiving is controlled by email server. All email service providers configure their Email server before anyone start communicating digitally. When the servers are ready users from across the world register in to this Email server.
How Email Travels?
Lets say we have 2 email providers yahoomail.com and gmail.com, Now consider "A" is registered to yahoomail.com and "B" is registered to  gmail.com.
Now consider A@yahoo.com sends an email to B@gmail.com, now the email from the node(computer) of A@yahoo.com is forwarded to the yahoo server further the email is forwarded to gmail server through Internet and now the email is kept in the gmail's database and the other person can login to view the email sent by A@yahoo.com.
