So for example you're suggesting SMTP would cover an overview, rfc(2)822
general message format, perhaps MIME since it's so popular, maybe go
over an SMTP conversation, authentication, etc. Telnet to SMTP port and
demo.

POP3 is easy, 20m may be overkill (use it for SMTP). Telnet to pop3 port
read mail.

IMAP is more complex, give overview, show commands, telnet to imap port
and demo.

I'm no expert, but I could easily cover those topics.

I'm not a huge tool person. I use them but don't go deep into them. I
could cover SMTP, IMAP and POP3 config for Evolution and Thunderbird.

Hoe many are interested in this presentation?
