2 -In this microlearning, we'll dive into the MIME protocol, which extends the capabilities of the traditional SMTP email system. MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) enhances email by allowing the exchange of various types of data files, such as audio, video, and images, beyond just text. We’ll explore how MIME works within eMagiz, including its advantages and how it differs from its more secure counterpart, S/MIME. Understanding these concepts will help you effectively manage and utilize MIME-related components in your email communications.

37 37  The main difference between MIME and S/MIME is that S/MIME is a more secure version of the MIME protocol that allows messages to be encrypted between sender and receiver. This encryption intends to prevent unauthorized parties from reading the content of the message. Note that to use the S/MIME component within eMagiz, you need the proper keys stored in the Keystore and truststore, and you will most likely need to transfer your XML message first to MIME before securing it.
