      <title>POP</title>
      <p>Acronyme de « Post Office Protocol » (protocole du bureau de poste), une méthode simple pour récupérer les courriels d'un serveur de courrier distant. Il est largement utilisé par les clients de messagerie pour accéder aux serveurs des fournisseurs d'accès internet. À l'heure actuelle, la version 3 est la plus couramment employée ; elle est connue sous le nom POP3. C'est un protocole très simple, pas très souple, mais facile à mettre en place et omniprésent sur internet.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="imap">
      <title>IMAP</title>
      <p>An acronym that stands for "Internet Mail Access
      Protocol". It is a newer method of accessing mail over the
      internet. It is far more featureful than <link xref="glossary#pop">POP3</link>, allowing
      for remote folders on the mail server, and more control over
      mail delivery. However it is not as widely supported.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="ldap">
      <title>LDAP</title>
      <p>Acronyme pour « Lightweight Directory Access Protocol » (protocole léger d'accès à un annuaire). C'est une norme largement acceptée pour accéder aux informations des contacts sur un réseau. Cela permet à des organisations d'enregistrer les informations d'adressage dans une base de données centrale et d'avoir de nombreuses personnes capables d'y accéder.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="libmutt">
      <title>libmutt</title>
      <p>The library based on Mutt's code and used by previous
      versions of <app>Balsa</app> to handle local mail and IMAP
      servers.</p>
    </section>

    <section id="mda">
      <title>MDA</title>
      <p>An acronym for "Mail Delivery Agent", this type of program
      is also known as a Local Delivery Agent (LDA). It is
      responsible for delivering the mail recieved for someone on a
      machine to the mail folder of that person. <app>procmail</app> is
      an example of this type of program, although many
      <link xref="glossary#mta">MTA</link>'s have their own
      MDA implementations.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="mta">
      <title>MTA</title>
      <p>An acronym for "Mail Transfer Agent", this class of
      program is responsible for moving mail around between people,
      be they on the same computer, on on completely separate
      networks. Examples of this type of program include
      <app>sendmail</app>,
      <app>qmail</app>, and
      <app>postfix</app>.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="mua">
      <title>MUA</title>
      <p>An acronym for "Mail User Agent", this the program a user
      would use to read existing mail and create new messages. MUAs
      are one of three types of programs that allow internet email
      to work. The other two types of programs are
      <link xref="glossary#mta">MTA</link> s and
      <link xref="glossary#mda">MDA</link> s. <app>Balsa</app> is
      primarily an MUA, but it also functions as an MDA/MTA when
      retrieving mail from a remote server.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="regular-expression">
      <title>Expression régulière</title>
      <p>Often abbreviated as a
      <em>regexp</em>, this is a method of specifing a pattern to
      match in text. Both very simple and very complex patterns can
      be easily matched using this method. For information on how
      to understand and construct regular expressions the best
      source is the
      <cmd>grep</cmd> manual or info page.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="smtp">
      <title>SMTP</title>
      <p>Acronyme pour « Simple Mail Transfer Protocol » (protocole simple de transfert de courrier). C'est exactement cela : une norme qui définit un moyen simple et fiable pour transférer des messages entre des ordinateurs sur un réseau. Il est utilisé par la plupart, si ce n'est tous les programmes de courrier pour transférer du courrier.</p>
    </section>
    <section id="vcard">
      <title>VCARD</title>
      <p>VCARD is a standard method of storing contact information
      for easy exchange between programs. <app>Balsa</app> supports
      VCARD addressbooks, as does GnomeCard and Evolution. Many
      other programs are capable of exporting their contact lists
      in VCARD format as well.</p>
