Ever wondered what happens when you send an email? How Does the email system Work? Google’s Story of Send Site Explains. Take a journey with Gmail and find out. The site itself is beautifully designed, in a very interactive fashion. It explains in pictures, animation, and video. What happens to your message, here’s a brief description : the message goes through your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) pipes, over to Google, then to one of Google’s data centers, then to a server floor (where it is scanned for viruses, etc.), and then out to the
recipient.
And that message goes through those steps incredibly fast; Google says that more than 50 percent of e-mails sent through Gmail are delivered in less than a second. Along the way, discover Google data centers through videos, photos and more. It all begins when you click send. Click here to Follow an email on its journey
